[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Guk-yeop] Save the Children Western Branch, an international child rights organization, announced on the 21st that it signed a business agreement with Gwangju Metropolitan City on the 20th, the Day of Persons with Disabilities, for the Disabled Children's Right to Play Project.

This agreement was made for the purpose of creating spaces to promote the right to play for disabled children at two selected welfare centers for the disabled within Gwangju Metropolitan City.

The Disabled Children's Right to Play Project is a project in which Save the Children creates ICT-based sensory and visual play spaces that provide emotional stability and enjoyment for children at the Gwangju Metropolitan City Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center and Gwangsan-gu Disabled Welfare Center, donates these play spaces to the welfare centers for the disabled, and Gwangju Metropolitan City provides spatial and administrative support, management, operation, and promotion for the creation of these play spaces.

Yu Hye-young, head of Save the Children Western Branch, said, "We will strive to create a space centered on the participants through the Disabled Children's Right to Play Project."

Lee Pyeong-hyeong, Director of Welfare and Health Bureau of Gwangju Metropolitan City, responded, "We hope that disabled children in the region can play more freely and grow up healthily."

A representative of Save the Children Western Branch Gwangju Office stated, "Due to COVID-19, we conducted a first survey to collect opinions for the safety of children and guardians, and we are promoting the Disabled Children's Right to Play Project with the principle of providing opportunities to directly hear the opinions of the participants in the future."

Save the Children is an international relief and development NGO working for the realization of children's rights since 1919, actively conducting domestic projects such as child rights education, support projects for rural children, support projects for children from low-income families, and overseas projects such as the newborn saving campaign.
