[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) delivered 'Mother Magic Boxes' containing sanitary pads and feminine products to low-income female students in the area to support the healthy growth of female adolescents who have difficulty receiving care from guardians.

This project, organized by the Mother’s Group 'Mother Goods' of Yeoksau-rim Seongdong (President Kim Mi-kyung), provided feminine products for one year to 34 female adolescents who are in the blind spots of the sanitary pad voucher support programs by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Seoul City.

On the 11th, packaging of the 'Mother Magic Boxes' took place in the large auditorium on the 3rd floor of Seongdong-gu Office. Ten Mother Goods volunteers and Mayor Jung Won-oh participated, completing the magic boxes by including organic sanitary pads, herbal pouches to relieve menstrual pain, handmade cotton masks, and heartfelt letters of encouragement.

The boxes were shipped collectively by courier to protect the self-esteem of adolescents during this sensitive period.

Kim Mi-kyung, President of Yeoksau-rim Seongdong, said, “I started this project after reading an article about low-income adolescents using makeshift sanitary pads,” adding, “We want to continuously support the provision of safe organic sanitary pads and be a guardian who always watches over the children so they do not feel neglected.”

Mayor Jung said, “There are still many adolescents in need of care who are invisible in our surroundings,” and added, “We will strive to support their healthier growth through various means with the interest of the local community.”

Mother Goods volunteers produce and sell summer cotton masks to relieve the discomfort of KF masks and to protect resources wasted by single-use masks, with all proceeds used as funds for the female adolescent sanitary pad support project.
