[Asia Economy Reporter Myung-Hwan Lee] The Korea Exchange announced on the 6th that it has donated 100 million won to the Busan Community Chest of Korea as part of a project to support the independence of vulnerable disabled people in the Busan area.

At the donation ceremony, Son Byung-doo, Chairman of the Exchange, Choi Geum-sik, Chairman of the Busan Community Chest of Korea, and Lee Joo-eun, Director of the Brain Lesion Welfare Center, along with other project officials, attended.

The donation will be used in collaboration with Busan City Hall, the Busan Community Chest of Korea, and disability welfare organizations to create special environments such as psychological stabilization rooms and provide vocational training at care centers used by disabled people in the Busan area.

This project is part of Busan City's "Integrated Care Center for Middle-aged and Elderly Disabled" operation project, aiming to support the stable independence of disabled people. The Exchange is raising funds for an independent environment for the disabled, Busan City Hall provides integrated care welfare facilities for the disabled, and disability welfare organizations such as the Brain Lesion Welfare Center and the Developmental Disability Support Center provide rehabilitation services for the disabled.

Son Byung-doo, Chairman of the Exchange, said, "Disabled people, who are socially vulnerable, find it difficult to achieve stable independence due to a lack of social infrastructure," adding, "We will not spare continuous support so that having a disability does not become a reason for discrimination."
