[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Bank announced on the 30th that it will conduct the "A Healthy and Exciting Winter with Woori" contest project for underprivileged children struggling due to care gaps caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The Woori Love Fund contest project is a social contribution activity that supports welfare projects for the underprivileged using the Woori Love Fund, which is voluntarily donated by Woori Bank employees from a portion of their salaries. Since 2009, it has supported excellent social welfare programs for children and elderly living alone through social welfare facilities nationwide every year.

Woori Bank plans to provide a total donation of 100 million KRW for the winter support project, including COVID-19 prevention and cold weather supplies, and child care support for underprivileged children, in collaboration with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation. The support targets include 10 regional children's centers selected through a prior contest for regional children's centers nationwide and two winter support projects for underprivileged children selected through an internal idea contest for Woori Bank employees.

The support method will be carried out through a customer participation cheering event held from December 1st on Woori Bank’s social network service (SNS) channel (Facebook) and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation SNS channel (Instagram). When the goal of 1,000 likes, cheering comments for underprivileged children, and SNS shares is achieved, the 100 million KRW donation will be used for the 10 regional children's centers selected through the prior contest and the winter support projects for underprivileged children.

Kwon Kwang-seok, CEO of Woori Bank, said, “I hope that the sharing of our employees will be of some help for underprivileged children to have a healthy and exciting winter in the difficult environment caused by COVID-19 this winter,” and added, “We will continue to make efforts together with Woori Bank employees to support the underprivileged.”
