[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Kolmar Holdings announced on the 17th that it has donated 20 million KRW to the Korea Child and Youth Group Home Association to support children and adolescents from vulnerable groups.

Group homes are child protection facilities that help children and adolescents in need of care grow up in a home-like residential environment. Currently, about 3,000 children are being cared for in over 560 facilities nationwide.

This donation is part of Kolmar Holdings' social contribution activities. Last year, Kolmar Holdings signed an agreement with the association to support child and youth group homes and has been steadily carrying out support activities. In October last year, it provided a donation worth 20 million KRW and 20,000 KF-94 masks. Its affiliate, Kolmar BNH, also delivered health functional foods, school supplies, and donations to the association last December.

A Kolmar Holdings official said, "We continue to provide support with the hope that we can be a small help to children in need during this difficult time due to COVID-19," adding, "We plan to continue various social contribution activities for vulnerable groups, including support for children and adolescents."

Meanwhile, since the spread of COVID-19, Kolmar Holdings has been continuously donating hand sanitizers through local governments. It has also maintained social contribution activities by signing a support agreement with Holt Children's Services, a social welfare corporation, for 'single-parent families,' providing quarantine supplies and donations.
