[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Hyundai Heavy Industries Group has contributed to the local community by supporting seven welfare facilities with 30 million KRW.

On the 12th, Hyundai Heavy Industries and the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group 1% Sharing Foundation held a 'Social Welfare Project Contest Sponsorship Fund Delivery Ceremony' at Hyundai Heavy Industries. Hyundai Heavy Industries provided a total of approximately 31 million KRW to seven social welfare facilities in Dong-gu, Ulsan. The 1% Sharing Foundation planned this project to provide practical assistance to local welfare facilities and vulnerable groups.

From the end of March, the 1% Sharing Foundation conducted a social contribution project contest targeting social welfare facilities in Dong-gu for about two weeks, receiving project proposals from a total of 34 places. After review by the Ulsan Social Welfare Council, it was finally decided to support projects proposed by seven institutions, including Dong-gu Disabled Welfare Center, Nam-mok Senior Welfare Center, and Ulsan Hwajeong Regional Children's Center.

The Dong-gu Disabled Welfare Center will run a care program during school vacations that combines art and physical activities, reducing the caregiving burden on families with disabled children while supporting the healthy growth of the children.

The Nam-mok Senior Welfare Center plans to provide a comfortable living space for elderly households through generational environment improvements and cleaning supplies support.

Additionally, projects such as family relationship building programs (Dong-gu Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center), creation of vocational rehabilitation training spaces (Dong-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center-affiliated Disabled Daycare Center), elderly psychological care projects (Bangojin Senior Welfare Center), children's play and job experience (Ulsan Hwajeong Regional Children's Center), and book play programs (Sarang Ultari) will be conducted at each institution until the end of October.

A Hyundai Heavy Industries official stated, "Hyundai Heavy Industries Group will continue to pay careful attention and consideration to our neighbors and strive to create a community where we live together." The Hyundai Heavy Industries Group 1% Sharing Foundation carries out various social contribution projects for vulnerable groups in welfare blind spots, including children at risk of food insecurity, elderly living alone, and low-income families.
