[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Hyosung Group announced on the 7th that it has donated 150 million KRW to the Purme Foundation, which supports the rehabilitation and independence of people with disabilities, for the 'Medical Rehabilitation and Family Support Project for Children with Disabilities.'

The donation will be used for rehabilitation treatment costs for 20 children and adolescents with disabilities, psychological treatment and education expenses for 25 non-disabled siblings, among other purposes. Twenty families receiving support from the Purme Foundation will be selected and invited to the 'Family Trip with Hyosung.'

Through this sponsorship, Hyosung hopes not only for the physical and mental recovery of growing children and adolescents with disabilities but also for increased psychological stability and self-development opportunities for non-disabled siblings who have been relatively neglected due to their disabled siblings.

Hyosung Chairman Cho Hyun-joon said, "We will continue to provide steady support so that there are no gaps in the treatment of children and adolescents with disabilities and their families amid the prolonged COVID-19 situation."

The relationship between the Purme Foundation and Hyosung has continued for 10 years since 2013. Hyosung's sponsorship funds are used for a wide range of rehabilitation treatments, including rehabilitation therapy for low-income children and adolescents with disabilities, education and psychological treatment for non-disabled siblings, family trips with Hyosung employees and their families, and family-invited concerts.
