On the Way to the Outdoor Bathroom, a Warm 'Wind' Blows... Yeongyang Wind Power Supports Housing Environment Improvement for Low-Income Families

Yeongyang Wind Power has launched a support project to improve the housing environment for low-income households in Seokbo-myeon, Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] An eco-friendly power plant has also stepped up to improve the residential environment of neighboring villages. Yeongyang Wind Power, which operates a power generation business in the "Baram" (Wind) village, supports a housing environment improvement project for low-income households.

The low-income housing environment improvement project is a customized outreach service targeting low-income residents whose housing conditions are vulnerable and who find it difficult to resolve problems on their own due to health and economic reasons.

The situation of a single elderly person who had to endure the cold outside the house during freezing weather because there was no indoor bathroom sparked this project.

Residents’ heartfelt reports about the need to use an outdoor bathroom and the associated safety risks prompted the Seokbo-myeon Office to take action. Officials who visited the site spread awareness of this reality, and Yeongyang Wind Power readily stepped forward. A "wind" of change began to blow in Yeongyang’s housing environment improvement project.

Yeongyang Wind Power participated in the "2022 Hope Sharing Campaign" and generously donated school entrance gifts to elementary students in Seokbo-myeon. They have carried out volunteer activities in various fields, including improving housing conditions for low-income families. The company, which harnesses the village’s wind as its power source, is creating a breeze of love and action to help the local community.

Kim Chohan, head of Seokbo-myeon, welcomed the effort, saying, “We are grateful for the warm support extended to the underprivileged who are enduring a difficult winter due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
