Kumho Tire Supports COVID-19 Safe Boxes for Underprivileged Children in Seoul

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Kumho Tire is providing Safe Boxes to underprivileged children in the Seoul area who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

On the 23rd, Kumho Tire held the "2021 Safe Box Delivery Ceremony with Kumho Tire" at the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation headquarters in Mugyo-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

The ceremony was attended by Jin-gu Kang, Head of Management Support Team at Kumho Tire, and Un-jung Choi, Head of Seoul Region 2 at the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, among others.

Kumho Tire explained that the Safe Box, consisting of masks and hand sanitizers, is a quarantine kit designed to guarantee the health rights of underprivileged children and to alleviate the economic burden of purchasing essential quarantine supplies.

Since 2018, Kumho Tire has been running the "Pink Box" project, which supports low-income female adolescents with feminine products, and this year, in response to the COVID-19 situation, they have implemented the Safe Box support activity.

Jin-gu Kang, Head of Management Support Team at Kumho Tire, said, "We prepared the Safe Boxes for vulnerable children who are experiencing more difficulties than ever due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past three years, through the Pink Box project, we have been able to help a total of 450 people, and this year we plan to provide assistance to children. We will continue to develop various support programs for underprivileged children and adolescents."

Meanwhile, in addition to the Safe Box support project, Kumho Tire is also engaged in social contribution activities targeting children and adolescents, such as sponsoring the opening of Hope Study Rooms, traffic safety prevention, and school violence prevention campaigns.
