[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation have signed an agreement to guarantee the minimum housing rights for children. Since February, they have conducted a full survey of towns and townships to investigate the conditions of traditional toilets.

According to the county on the 8th, after a joint on-site inspection, they selected 12 low-income households with children in urgent need of repair or renovation and achieved the result of gifting them clean and warm flush toilets. A proclamation ceremony was held on the 5th in the county office situation room.

Park Su-bong, head of the Children’s Foundation Jeonnam branch, said, “Jangheung-gun is a local government with exceptional enthusiasm and affection for promoting children’s happiness. I believe it is truly courageous field administration to openly disclose traditional toilets and promote this project.”

He added, “This traditional toilet zero project was the only local government to promote a joint project by improving flush toilets not only for 12 low-income households with children but also for 9 low-income elderly households by adding 50 million won in county funds to the 78 million won of pure private resources.”
