[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Jung Yoon-mo, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 26th that it delivered relief supplies to the Magnolia Mother and Child Welfare Center, located in Suseong-gu, Daegu Metropolitan City, to overcome the COVID-19 crisis.

Kibo's Daegu Regional Headquarters conducted a book-sharing campaign among employees of its local branches with the purpose of sharing knowledge and wisdom by passing on valuable books gathering dust on shelves to younger generations. Through this campaign, 950 books were collected and delivered to the Magnolia Mother and Child Welfare Center.

Additionally, Kibo carried out disinfection and environmental cleanup volunteer activities inside and outside the Magnolia Mother and Child Welfare Center to ensure a clean and safe environment amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in the local community.

To revitalize traditional markets struggling due to COVID-19, the Daegu Regional Headquarters formed a sisterhood relationship with Cheonggu Market, a traditional market near the headquarters, and purchased local agricultural products such as rice and apples, as well as 1,000 masks, which were then delivered to mother-and-child households.

Song Bae-ho, head of Kibo's Daegu Regional Headquarters, said, "Last year, when COVID-19 was rampant in the Daegu area, our employees united to help neighbors in need within the community. Going forward, Kibo will continue to carry out community contribution activities as a public institution."
