[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Hana Financial Group announced on the 12th that it has opened the national and public daycare center ‘Gajwa 3-dong Hana Daycare Center’ in Gajwa-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon.

This daycare center is the first ‘integrated daycare center for children with disabilities’ established in Gajwa-dong and the 15th national and public daycare center opened by Hana Financial.

Hana Financial and Seo-gu Office of Incheon purchased an existing private daycare center, converted it into a national and public facility, and remodeled it to create an integrated childcare environment where children with and without disabilities can live together.

Located in a residential area, the rooftop was actively utilized to secure the insufficient play space. In particular, separate construction such as removing bathroom door thresholds and installing stair handrails was carried out to ensure that children with disabilities can safely use the facilities.

The opening ceremony held in the afternoon of the previous day was attended by Ham Young-joo, Vice Chairman of Hana Financial, Lee Jae-hyun, Mayor of Seo-gu, and others to celebrate the opening.

Vice Chairman Ham said, “I am very pleased to establish and donate an ‘integrated daycare center for children with disabilities’ where childcare facilities are needed for children with disabilities,” and added, “I hope children naturally accept each other and grow up healthily without prejudice and discrimination.”

Hana Financial is carrying out the ‘Daycare Center 100th Construction Project.’ Since March last year, it has opened 15 national and public daycare centers and established workplace daycare centers in five locations including Myeong-dong, Yeouido, and Busan in Seoul. Additionally, daycare center construction is underway in 70 locations nationwide.
