[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 6th that it will carry out a function enhancement project for five youth shelters in the province.

Youth shelters are welfare facilities that support the lives of at-risk and runaway youth, providing counseling, self-reliance programs, grievance handling, cultural experiences, and other guidance programs to help them return to their families and society. There are five youth shelters in Gyeongnam Province.

This "Youth Shelter Function Enhancement Project" will invest 72 million KRW to create a pleasant and safe environment in the youth shelters, including repairs of aging facilities, flooring and wallpaper work, and replacement of equipment such as sinks and PCs.

A Gyeongnam official said, "Youth shelters are welfare facilities used by over 12,000 youth annually. We hope that this function enhancement project will create a healthy growth environment where at-risk youth can return to their families and society."
