Eunpyeong-gu 'Single-Person Household Support Project' Promotion

Injecting Vitality into Tired Daily Lives with Non-Face-to-Face Programs Amid Prolonged COVID-19 Pandemic

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) Health Family and Multicultural Family Support Center is conducting the ‘Single-Person Household Support Project’ targeting single-person households aged 20 to 60 living in the Seoul metropolitan area and prospective single-person households.

The Single-Person Household Support Project aims to support single-person households in pursuing happiness as members of society and improving their quality of life by enhancing daily living functions and promoting social participation amid the rapidly increasing number of single-person households.

As ongoing programs for single-person households, activities such as ‘Meokyoil, Two Servings for Single-Person Households,’ where participants make healthy food and share the dishes they prepared with acquaintances or neighbors to foster communication, and ‘Ttukttak Ttukttak My Home Management,’ where they organize their homes with a professional organizer, have been conducted.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic causing face-to-face programs to be indefinitely postponed, non-face-to-face programs are being offered so that single-person households can participate regardless of time and place. Participants expressed high satisfaction, saying, “These days, when going out is restricted and free hobbies are difficult, providing new learning opportunities helps refresh our tired daily lives, offering psychological stability and helping to overcome depression.”

In October, real-time interactive online programs will be held, including ▲‘Separately Together, Home Training’ with a professional trainer (every Wednesday at 7 p.m.), ▲‘Making Natural Household Products’ using natural ingredients (every Thursday at 7 p.m.), and ▲‘Wise Single Living’ (on the 24th), which involves communication through cooking activities and life planning for the future.

A district official stated, “In addition, various ongoing programs for single-person households, common programs, self-help group activities, and counseling will be conducted, so we ask for your great interest.”
