Seomin Financial Services Agency Supports Safe Autumn and Winter for Energy-Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunju Lee] The Korea Inclusive Finance Agency announced on the 23rd that, in celebration of its 6th anniversary, it conducted a social contribution activity in Guryong Village, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to support energy-vulnerable groups in safely getting through the fall and winter seasons.

Guryong Village, located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, was declared the first special disaster area of 2022 due to heavy rain damage in August. As a result of the flooding, most carbon monoxide detectors in energy-vulnerable households using briquettes in Guryong Village were damaged. Carbon monoxide detectors are essential safety devices to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning caused by briquette stoves.

Accordingly, employees of the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency visited energy-vulnerable households to remove the damaged carbon monoxide detectors and install new ones. They also helped deliver daily necessities donated to the briquette bank to each household, assisting with the shortage of manpower.

President Jaeyeon Lee stated, “Since vulnerable groups are highly exposed to daily risks due to poor living conditions, we will use this activity as an opportunity to strive not only for their stable financial lives but also for safe daily living.”
