[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] Shinhan Bank announced that on the 16th, it held a donation ceremony for the ‘Donghaeng (同行) Project for Children Bereaved by Suicide’ at the headquarters of the Korea Life Respect and Hope Foundation located in Jung-gu, Seoul.

Through the donation of 100 million KRW for children bereaved by suicide, Shinhan Bank will support 100 children who are experiencing economic hardship and mental distress, helping them to recover healthily and grow properly despite difficult circumstances by providing educational expenses and medical costs for emotional and physical treatment.

In particular, amid the prolonged COVID-19 crisis, many parents have made extreme choices due to economic and psychological instability, leaving their children alone and struggling; the bank plans to find and support these children.

Meanwhile, the ‘Donghaeng (同行) Project’ embodies the philosophy of Bank President Jin Ok-dong, who has a strong interest in social contribution and aims to provide sincere help. Since 2021, the project has been conducted as a long-term support initiative to provide basic living support and practical independence for various socially vulnerable groups. So far, it has supported abused children, children suffering from food insecurity, children from multicultural families, elderly living alone, and single-person households in Seoul.
