[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] DGB Financial Group announced on the 3rd that it held a donation ceremony for the 'Daefrica Oasis Water Ice Bottled Water Dream' at the Daegu Bank 2nd Headquarters on the 1st, together with Daegu City and the Daegu Branch of the Korea Regional Self-Support Center Association.

This project is part of creating jobs for local self-support workers and is inspired by the seasonal characteristics of the region known as 'Daefrica.' The main point is to place ice boxes on roads near 10 DGB Daegu Bank branches located in 8 districts and counties of Daegu, which have experienced high temperatures since early summer, and fill them with frozen ice bottled water to provide free access to residents.

It will operate for six weeks from the 6th to August 14th. A total of 60,000 ice bottled waters will be provided, including 20,000 units of Dalgu-beol clean water supplied by Daegu City. Priority distribution targets are outdoor workers such as delivery couriers, traffic police officers, and firefighters who must work outdoors in the heat, as well as elderly people and children who are relatively vulnerable to heat. Two hundred units are provided on weekdays and replenished if they run out early.

The project cost is fully covered by the DGB Social Contribution Foundation. A Daegu Bank official stated that the project is meaningful as it is carried out to create jobs for self-support workers whose activity opportunities have decreased due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

DGB Financial Group has been steadily conducting social contribution activities for local self-support workers affected economically by COVID-19. In June, it carried out the 'Clean Care Project' to improve the housing environment for vulnerable groups. In addition, earlier this year, it supported 20,000 COVID-19 prevention masks for self-support workers and delivered sponsorship funds for senior job creation.

Chairman Kim Tae-oh said, "I hope this project, which is conducted to prevent heat damage in our unusually hot region, will help local residents and contribute to economic revitalization through local job creation." He added, "DGB Financial Group will continue to actively strive to create jobs and reduce heat damage by opening heat relief shelters and implementing the 'Blue-wind Project' for vulnerable groups."
