[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hana Financial Group is conducting the 'Gachi (Value) Dosirak' support project through the public interest foundation Youth Gruterki.

On the 13th, according to Hana Financial, the Youth Gruterki Foundation was established with three core goals: ▲supporting the healthy growth of youth ▲providing life support for youth in welfare blind spots ▲global youth and research support projects.

This support project targets about 500 households of youth from disabled parents and grandparent-headed families, initially selected in three districts of Seoul (Nowon, Eunpyeong, Guro). The dosirak is made on the day using domestic ingredients and delivered on the same day once a week. Balanced and safe food is provided to the selected youth, with 3 to 4 servings of dosirak per selected household, aiming to solve the meal shortage problem for more youth.

This support project will be carried out from the 16th of this month to June 30 of next year in collaboration with Nowon-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, and Guro-gu to address the worsening meal shortages and nutritional imbalances among vulnerable youth due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. To promote this project, Hana Financial Group signed business agreements with Nowon-gu Office and Eunpyeong-gu Office on the same day, and with Guro-gu Office on the 14th. Chairman Kim Jung-tae of Hana Financial Group, who is also the chairman of the Youth Gruterki Foundation, and the heads of each district office attended in person to add meaning to 'Happy Finance' through the group's ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) management practice.

Chairman Kim said, "I thank the district heads of Nowon-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, and Guro-gu for coming together for the youth," adding, "Through this agreement, I hope that youth can be 'youthful as youth,' 'grow happily and healthily,' and establish themselves as members of society."

Meanwhile, the Youth Gruterki Foundation plans to promote 'learning mentoring' for youth in child and youth protection facilities starting with the dosirak project. It will also carry out ▲independent support projects for youth who have left protection ▲psychological, emotional, and independent support projects for youth victims of crime to support youth in welfare blind spots, and sequentially implement ▲global youth and research support projects.
