[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] Hana Financial Sharing Foundation announced on the 9th that it will launch the social contribution program 'Hana Dream' to nurture children from low-income families as talents in the financial and ICT fields.

'Hana Dream' is a project that provides customized education to children from low-income families who aspire to pursue careers in finance and ICT. In particular, it plans to focus on supporting children from low-income grandparent-headed households and rural fishing villages, providing high-quality early career education opportunities.

Hana Financial Sharing Foundation will carry out this program in collaboration with the international relief and development NGO Save the Children, planning to support a total of 215 children over the next year. It will support 70 children from low-income grandparent-headed households with financial and ICT education and certification acquisition, and provide 145 children from low-income rural fishing village families with experiential ICT education opportunities such as coding education, robot making, and drone experiences.

The day before, Hana Financial Sharing Foundation signed a related agreement with Save the Children. Ham Young-joo, Chairman of Hana Financial Sharing Foundation, stated, “As we prepare for the post-COVID era, nurturing talents in finance and ICT who will lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution is more important than ever,” adding, “We will continue to practice finance that shares happiness and grows together by supporting children to achieve their dreams in a more stable environment.”

Hana Financial Sharing Foundation is a charitable public foundation established by Hana Financial Group in December 2005 as the first in the domestic banking sector to systematically practice neighborly love and sharing management. It has been steadily carrying out various social contribution activities that leverage the characteristics of Hana Financial across domestic and international social welfare.
