Kakao Makers Participates in Project to Help Children at Risk of Food Insecurity

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Kakao is participating in a project to help children at risk of food insecurity.

Kakao's impact commerce platform, Kakao Makers, announced on the 22nd that it will collaborate with domestic artists to produce goods and donate all proceeds to the "Happy Dookki Project," which supports children at risk of food insecurity.

The "Happy Dookki Project" is a social contribution program where local governments, companies, and communities work together to ensure that children in welfare blind spots who are at risk of food insecurity receive sufficient meals.

Until the 27th of this month, Kakao Makers is selling five products including yogurt bowls, T-shirts, grip-toks, beach towels, and phone cases created in collaboration with pop artist Hong Won-pyo under the theme "Ray of Sunshine." The products feature illustrations of Matricaria, symbolizing resilience in adversity, and Marigold, symbolizing inevitable happiness.

A Kakao Makers representative said, "We are pleased to contribute to strengthening the social safety net in the community by helping children at risk of food insecurity during the school vacation season when school meals are unavailable," adding, "Going forward, Kakao Makers will continue to fulfill its role as an impact commerce platform by creating products based on domestic artists' artwork to support vulnerable groups."

Meanwhile, since May, Kakao Makers has been collecting an environmental fund called "Eco Seed" with every customer order to carry out marine cleanup, forest creation, and more. They also plan to hold events to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage participation, such as resource recycling projects.
