The community center is a space for the culture, education, and welfare of local residents. The 480㎡ center includes cultural facilities such as a movie screening room and a GX (group exercise) room, educational facilities such as language and seminar rooms, and welfare facilities such as a beauty salon and repair shop.

This project has been carried out since 2018 as part of Hyundai Motor Group's 'Happy Move Global Youth Volunteer Corps' activities. Following home repairs for low-income families, mural painting on village walls, and local children's education volunteering, the construction and donation of this community center mark the culmination of over five years of efforts.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Engineering has conducted various social contribution activities since entering Uzbekistan in 2011 by securing the Ustyurt Gas Chemical Plant project. As a result, it received the Presidential Award in the Global CSR category at the 5th Korea Beloved Companies Government Awards in 2017, recognizing its activities in Uzbekistan. It also won the Grand Prize at the Korea-Uzbek CSR Forum in 2019, 2020, and this year.

A Hyundai Engineering official said, "In the future, we will continue to devote our efforts and consideration not only to business operations in overseas countries but also to contributing to the development of the local communities."
