[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Home&Shopping announced on the 14th that it donated 50 million won to the Community Chest of Korea.

This donation was made to support single mothers in blind spots who do not properly receive government support such as health insurance. The support targets about 60 single mothers living in Seoul who are either more than six months pregnant or raising children under 36 months old. Home&Shopping provides emergency living expenses, medical expenses, and childcare supplies.

According to the Community Chest of Korea, as of 2019, there are about 20,000 single mothers nationwide. Single mothers often experience sudden pregnancies and lack preparation for childbirth and childcare. The income of mother-child households is about 43% of the total household income, indicating severe poverty issues, according to Home&Shopping.

A Home&Shopping official said, "The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of marginalized groups in blind spots," adding, "We will make greater efforts to extend warmth to marginalized groups as part of our social responsibility."
