[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced on the 15th that it held the 9th-year agreement ceremony for the 'Happiness Addition Hope Narae Project' with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. At the event, it delivered 4 billion KRW in project funds to support the 'Safe Car' and 'Hope Narae Library' initiatives.

The project is KHNP's flagship social contribution program aimed at improving the learning environment of regional children's centers nationwide that are in welfare blind spots.

To realize its social contribution vision of "A world where we are all safe and happy," KHNP plans to support 80 eleven-passenger vans and 5 SUV electric vehicles as Safe Cars to regional children's centers across the country this year.

The vehicles will be used for children's safe return home and cultural experience activities.

In particular, this time, considering the environment of regional children's centers mostly located in residential areas, fuel costs, and charging infrastructure comprehensively, KHNP will pilot support for eco-friendly electric vehicles in Seoul.

KHNP will support the opening of 30 customized Hope Narae Libraries so that children can study and nurture their dreams in better environments.

It also plans to provide cultural experience opportunities for about 480 children.

Since starting the project in 2012, KHNP has supported the opening of 494 Safe Cars and 237 Hope Narae Libraries over eight years. These account for 11.7% and 5.6%, respectively, of the 4,211 regional children's centers nationwide.

In Gyeongju, where KHNP's headquarters is located, it has supported a customized English learning program for 28 regional children's centers for five consecutive years. It has also supported the opening of 27 Safe Cars and 26 Hope Narae Libraries there.

Jung Jae-hoon, President of KHNP, said, "I hope KHNP's Happiness Addition Hope Narae Project becomes a reliable partner that nurtures the dreams and hopes of children at regional children's centers," adding, "We will continue to provide unwavering support so that children and youth who need social attention can grow up properly."
