Uridamunhwa Scholarship Foundation Supports Study Room Environment Improvement for Children and Youth from Multicultural and Underprivileged Families

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Financial Group's Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation announced on the 18th that it will carry out a "Study Room Environment Improvement Project" for children from multicultural and underprivileged families.

The Study Room Environment Improvement Project supports study furniture such as desks, bookshelves, and chairs for multicultural and underprivileged children and adolescents of school age (8-19 years old). Since 2014, it has provided study furniture to a total of 93 households and 157 individuals.

Customized furniture suitable for the applicant's age, number of children, and study room layout is provided based on consultation with furniture installation experts. This year, approximately 25 households and about 40 individuals will be supported, considering income level and necessity of support. All costs are covered by the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation.

Applications are made through recommendations from welfare institutions such as Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Centers located in the metropolitan area, and must be submitted online via the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation website by the 4th of next month through the welfare institution's representative. The foundation plans to announce the selected candidates on the 29th of next month after document screening and on-site inspections. Detailed information is available on the foundation's website.

Son Tae-seung, Chairman of the Woori Multicultural Scholarship Foundation (Chairman of Woori Financial Group), said, "Due to the increase in home study time caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), it is necessary to create a comfortable study room environment," and added, "We hope that children and adolescents from multicultural and underprivileged families will grow up healthily and nurture big dreams in improved learning spaces."
