[Asia Economy Reporter Jo Gang-wook] KDB Industrial Bank announced on the 17th that it has donated 20 million KRW to a welfare facility for the disabled that is experiencing difficulties due to fire damage as the 40th beneficiary of the 'KDB Warm Companion' sponsorship.

The welfare facility targeted for this sponsorship was in urgent need of recovery due to toxic gas infiltration, building damage, and soot caused by the fire. In particular, the bank explained that it decided to provide emergency support to enable severely disabled residents who lost their living space in the welfare facility to return quickly.

This facility, located in Nowon-gu, Seoul, is a welfare center for the severely disabled. On the 9th, a fire broke out in an external hat workshop of the welfare facility, causing toxic gas to enter the interior. Two people suffered burns, and over 40 people were evacuated urgently and are currently living in temporary housing.

KDB Industrial Bank has maintained a sisterhood relationship with this welfare facility since 2011, practicing neighborly love through regular annual sponsorships, cultural sharing invitation events, kimchi-making sharing, and mask distribution.

Meanwhile, the bank has selected various beneficiaries with different stories and, including this support, has delivered a total of 540 million KRW in warm donations over 40 occasions.
