KB Kookmin Bank Creates 135 Learning Spaces at Community Child Centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunju Lee] KB Kookmin Bank announced on the 29th that it has created the 135th learning space within the Yeram Community Child Center in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the Crumbs Love Sharing Association.

The project to create learning spaces in community child centers, which began in 2017, is part of KB Kookmin Bank's social contribution initiative, ‘KB Dream Wave 2030.’ It has remodeled outdated unused spaces in 135 community child centers nationwide into learning spaces so that children and adolescents can focus on their studies in a comfortable environment.

The supported child centers were equipped with adjustable desks and chairs tailored to the growth stages of adolescents, fire detectors, and flame-retardant wallpaper. During the remodeling period, learning activity expenses were provided so that children and adolescents could experience various career exploration programs outside the center. In particular, among the community child centers located in the Pohang area, additional support such as wallpapering and flooring installation was provided for rapid damage recovery at centers affected by Typhoon Hinnamnor after remodeling.

Na Jong-moon, the director of Yeram Community Child Center, which was created as the 135th learning space, said, “I am glad that children can concentrate on their studies in a safe environment,” and added, “I hope this learning space creation will serve as a foundation for nurturing the children’s dreams.” A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “We hope that children using community child centers will nurture their dreams toward a bright future through stable learning activities in a pleasant environment,” and “We will provide generous support so that the precious dreams of adolescents can come true.”
