[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Ssangyong C&E is supporting low-income vulnerable children in the Gangwon region in collaboration with the international humanitarian development NGO Save the Children.

On the 15th, Ssangyong C&E signed an agreement at Save the Children, a social welfare corporation located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to support educational projects for low-income vulnerable children in the Gangwon region.

This agreement expands Ssangyong C&E’s talent development projects, which have been operated mainly in Donghae City and Yeongwol County where its production plants are located, to students from low-income families in Gangwon who are facing economic and environmental difficulties. It plans to provide school uniforms, bags, and stationery for the new semester.

Jung Tae-young, President of Save the Children, said, "It is very meaningful to expand support projects for children in the Gangwon region, where access to education is somewhat lower compared to the metropolitan area," and added, "We hope for Ssangyong C&E’s continued interest and support."

Lee Hyun-joon, President of Ssangyong C&E, said, "It is unfortunate that the learning gap among children from difficult home environments has deepened due to COVID-19," and added, "With this agreement signed with Save the Children as an opportunity, Ssangyong C&E will pay more attention to solving problems faced by neighbors and society and will further expand the practice of ESG management fulfilling social responsibility."
