[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] The Shinhan Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation announced on the 1st that it will provide COVID-19 prevention masks to over 30,000 children from vulnerable groups.

On the 29th, Shinhan Credit Union held a donation ceremony for mask sponsorship funds to help children in the vaccination blind spots with the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation. Shinhan Credit Union plans to provide 414,400 small-sized KF94 hanji masks worth 160 million KRW to the Green Umbrella Children's Foundation and the Shinhan Credit Union Social Contribution Foundation's Abuba Mentoring Children's Center. The support targets approximately 34,000 vulnerable children under the age of 12 who have not been vaccinated.
