[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation opened the 78th branch of the community childcare sharing center, 'Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo,' in Dong-gu, Incheon on the 23rd.

Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo is a project by Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation aimed at supporting after-school care activities for elementary school children from dual-income families in childcare blind spots, reducing childcare burdens, and preventing career interruptions for women.

Since 2018, Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation has been conducting the 'Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo' establishment project through a business agreement with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Including the newly opened center in Dong-gu, Incheon, a total of 78 'Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo' centers have been opened nationwide in cities, counties, and districts.

Currently, Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo is temporarily closed due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but emergency care services are being operated according to local government policies to minimize care gaps. Various programs such as children's financial classes and English classes will resume once social distancing measures are eased.

Jo Yong-byeong, Chairman of Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation, said, "Shinhan Financial is working towards opening the 100th 'Shinhan Kkum Dodamteo' this year," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide a comfortable and safe care environment for families experiencing care gaps due to COVID-19."
