[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Nodongil, Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae) announced on the 14th that it will provide a total of approximately 1.07 billion KRW in distribution funds to 53 social welfare facilities and low-income crisis households in Jeonnam Province.

As part of the 2021 distribution application projects, after receiving applications last year and conducting evaluations, 53 social welfare facilities and organizations in Jeonnam Province were selected. A total of 781.79 million KRW will be supported for program projects and functional reinforcement projects such as facility equipment and repairs.

Additionally, due to the impact of COVID-19 threatening livelihoods, 288 million KRW will be provided as emergency living expenses through 22 cities and counties to crisis households.

The Community Chest plans to prioritize discovering and promptly supporting households that do not benefit from existing welfare systems or support programs.

Chairman Nodongil stated, “Social welfare facilities and organizations are facing difficulties in operating their institutions due to COVID-19 and consecutive cold waves, and many crisis households are threatened in their livelihoods. The Community Chest will do its best to help overcome these crises.”

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea raised 24.1 billion KRW last year and distributed 25.1 billion KRW including central government support funds.

To create a Jeonnam without poverty, disease, or exclusion, it carried out distribution projects in eight major areas: basic livelihood support, housing environment improvement, education and self-reliance support, strengthening social care, expanding communication and participation, closing cultural gaps, health and medical support, and psychological and emotional support. Among these, 1.58 billion KRW was allocated for COVID-19 support projects, and 390 million KRW was provided as flood damage relief funds for areas affected by heavy rains.
