Seocho-gu Supports Customized Welfare Services for Vulnerable Children

Implementation of 'Seoripul Dream' Program for Vulnerable Children

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) plans to implement the ‘Seoripul Dream Dream’ to support welfare services, eliminate educational disparities, and provide equal starting opportunities.

‘Seoripul Dream Dream’ is a project that conducts a full survey of vulnerable children, discovers children in welfare blind spots who have not yet received welfare benefits, and provides personalized connections to welfare services desired by vulnerable children, while also supporting Seocho’s four specialized projects.

From September, after the full survey, personalized connection programs will be provided, including the ‘Seocho Dream Start Child Customized Integrated Service’ to support healthy growth and family function recovery. This will be linked with various welfare programs (4 fields, 29 programs) from public and private welfare institutions.

Additionally, the four specialized projects supported by Seocho-gu include ▲ ‘Seoripul Vacation Package’ for wise school vacation life ▲ ‘Healthy Meal’ for special care families ▲ non-face-to-face online mentoring system ‘Seoripul ON (溫)’ ▲ and specialized college entrance consulting for vulnerable high school seniors.

Meanwhile, the district has also carefully managed the food needs of vulnerable children beyond ‘Seoripul Dream Dream.’ For children who could not receive group meals due to the closure of local children’s centers, the district actively secured additional funds to provide substitute support with meal cards for two meals a day or lunch boxes, expanding the support amount from 6,000 KRW per meal to 9,000 KRW, the highest amount nationwide, thereby improving meal quality.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo stated, “We will conduct a meticulous full survey to ensure that not a single vulnerable child is left out and will care more attentively with a mother’s heart so that they can receive various welfare services.”
