[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Hyundai Department Store Duty Free announced on the 27th that it signed an agreement with the Community Chest of Korea at the Sarangui Yeolmae Hall in Jeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, to support the independence of single mothers and donated 50 million won in support funds.

According to this agreement, Hyundai Department Store Duty Free will carry out the single mother independence support campaign "Thank You, Mom" for the second consecutive year following last year.

This campaign plans to support medical expenses before and after childbirth, childcare and living expenses, as well as education expenses for employment and start-up according to the life cycle (childbirth, childcare, economic activities) of single mothers. Especially this year, a qualification acquisition support program will be prepared to provide practical support for the economic and social independence of single mothers.

Yook Woo-seok, Executive Director in charge of support at Hyundai Department Store Duty Free, who attended the agreement ceremony, said, "I hope this campaign will help single mothers gain the strength to become independent even a little," and added, "I hope it will be a stepping stone for socially vulnerable single mothers and their children to grow up healthily."
