[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jin-ho] Shinhan Bank announced on the 4th that it held a vehicle handover ceremony for the ‘Donghaeng (同行) Project’ at shelters for abused children in collaboration with the Community Chest of Korea and Good Neighbors in celebration of Children's Day.

The vehicle handover ceremony held yesterday at the Jung-gu headquarters was attended by Jin Ok-dong, President of Shinhan Bank; Kim Sang-gyun, Secretary General of the Community Chest of Korea; Kim Woong-cheol, Secretary General of Good Neighbors; and Hong Soo-jung, Facility Director of Gyeonggi Joeun Chingu Group Home, representing the shelters for abused children.

The ‘Donghaeng (同行) Project’ is Shinhan Bank’s flagship social contribution initiative launched this year to provide vehicles and fuel expenses to shelters for abused children nationwide. Among 76 shelters across the country, 29 selected through demand surveys and evaluations will receive vehicle support, and 44 will receive fuel expense support for three years.

Children at shelters for abuse victims often require frequent vehicle transportation for school commuting and visits to medical facilities for psychological and physical treatment. However, in reality, many shelters face significant difficulties due to a shortage of vehicles.

A Shinhan Bank official stated, "We hope that by supporting shelter vehicles and fuel expenses, abused children will be able to receive timely medical and educational services necessary for social adaptation," adding, "We will continue to carry out projects that accompany children and youth facing various difficulties, delivering a bright future and hope."

Meanwhile, the ‘Donghaeng Project’ was planned to embody the social contribution will of President Jin Ok-dong, who has consistently shown special interest and support for children. It is known that since his inauguration in 2019, President Jin has donated over 100 million won to support children’s education.
