[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Hyundai Engineering donated modular houses to four disaster-vulnerable families in Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do, and Seongju-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

On the 28th, Hyundai Engineering held a ‘Gift House Campaign Season 7’ move-in ceremony in Gwanghwal-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do, attended by Gimje Mayor Park Jun-bae, Hyundai Engineering Saemangeum Onshore Solar Power Plant Zone 1 Project Site Manager Geum Sang-ho, Secretary General of the National Disaster Relief Association Kim Jeong-hee, Head of ㈜Saemangeum Hope Solar Power Lee In-sik, and Head of Saemangeum Development Corporation Go Hee-seong, Hyundai Engineering announced on the 29th.

Now in its seventh year, the ‘Gift House Campaign’ is Hyundai Engineering’s representative social contribution activity that donates self-developed ‘modular houses’ to vulnerable families facing disaster crises due to fires or severe housing deterioration. Since starting in Eumseong, Chungbuk in 2015, Hyundai Engineering has donated a total of 32 gift houses across 13 regions nationwide, including Gimje-si and Seongju-gun this time.

This year, Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai Engineering, the Construction Industry Social Contribution Foundation, and the Foundation for Cooperation between Large, Medium, and Small Enterprises in Agriculture and Fisheries provided sponsorship funds. Hyundai Engineering provided modular technology for gift house production, local governments supported basic construction and facilities, and Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association carried out project promotion and management roles.

In this ‘Gift House Campaign Season 7,’ ㈜Saemangeum Hope Solar Power, an SPC of the ‘Saemangeum Zone 1 Onshore Solar Power Project’ being carried out by Hyundai Engineering in the Saemangeum area, also extended a helping hand. On the day, ㈜Saemangeum Hope Solar Power delivered congratulatory gifts to the families moving into the gift houses in Gimje-si.

A Hyundai Engineering official said, "Despite the very difficult social situation for carrying out social contribution activities due to COVID-19, we supported the housing stability of four disaster-vulnerable families through this ‘Gift House Campaign Season 7’," adding, "We will prepare various ways to coexist with local communities in line with the recent social contribution trend emphasizing non-face-to-face activities."
