Following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck southeastern T?rkiye and northwestern Syria last month, causing approximately 180,000 casualties, Boryeong decided to participate in relief efforts for children, who are the most vulnerable to disasters.

This disaster relief fundraising involved Boryeong, Boryeong Holdings, and Boryeong Consumer Healthcare. Donations were made through the Korea Committee for UNICEF to support psychological treatment for affected children, reconstruction of educational facilities, as well as hygiene, health, and medical aid.

Kim Eun-seon, Chairperson of Boryeong Holdings and Vice Chairperson of the Korea Committee for UNICEF, said, "We made this donation to help children who lost their homes and families due to the earthquake," adding, "We hope this small contribution will help the children in the affected areas overcome their grief and regain hope."

UNICEF is a United Nations agency established in 1946 to help children worldwide. Currently, under close cooperation with the governments of T?rkiye and Syria, UNICEF leads child relief efforts through permanent offices and specialized personnel established in the affected areas.
