After signing the agreement, the National Police Agency and the Foundation have provided emergency living expenses support up to 3 million KRW, as well as medical, educational, and housing support to children from families affected by crime and victims of child abuse.


According to cases disclosed by the National Police Agency, a middle school student in Chungcheong who had not received treatment for dental caries for a long time due to abuse by his father was supported with 1.2 million KRW for treatment costs. A high school student whose mother was stalked and who also suffered from voice phishing was supported with 2 million KRW. It is known that this student later enrolled in a related department to pursue a dream of becoming a physical therapist.


The National Police Agency and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation plan to continue strengthening the cooperation system between each police station and regional headquarters to carry out support projects for children from crime-affected families and victims of child abuse.


Yoon Hee-geun, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, said, "Children are the future of our society," and added, "We will continue to work with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to ensure that children in vulnerable environments due to crime can grow up safely and healthily."



Hwang Young-gi, Chairman of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, stated, "Through collaboration with the National Police Agency, children who were going through difficulties have been able to return to a healthy life," and added, "We will do our best to help them embrace new dreams and hopes."
