Gyeongsangnam-do received a sponsorship fund of 100 million KRW from SeGyeong C&D for the Idolbom Residential Environment Improvement Project.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 11th that it received a donation of 100 million won from Sekyung C&D for children living in poor housing conditions within the province.

Sekyung C&D donated the funds to provide better living environments for child households that fall below the minimum housing standards in the province.

The donation ceremony was attended by Ha Byungpil, Acting Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, Kwon Jeonggeun, Chairman of Sekyung C&D, and Park Wonkyu, Head of the Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation.

Since March, Gyeongsangnam-do has been identifying households in urgent need of support and plans to deliver the donation to the Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to be used for housing support projects for children living in housing poverty.

Support is provided to households with children under 18 years old who live in containers, use traditional toilets, or lack a dedicated bathing space, and whose income is below 80% of the median income.

Gyeongsangnam-do and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation signed a business agreement last November to improve the housing environment for children in housing poverty and have been actively promoting the “A Home Like a Real Home” project.

The first sponsoring company was Beomhan Industry, which contributed 50 million won, followed by Sekyung C&D.

Chairman Kwon Jeonggeun said, “A home should be a safer and more comfortable space for children than anywhere else. I believe that the strength to plan their future and pursue their dreams is built at home, which is why I decided to support this cause.”

Acting Governor Ha Byungpil of Gyeongsangnam-do said, “We will do our best to promote related policies in close cooperation with the private sector so that our children can grow up in a healthy and comfortable environment.”
