The Community Security Council of Chungjang-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City has started the 'Healthy Drink Yakult Delivery' project targeting low-income elderly living alone in the area.


The council plans to deliver Yakult to 40 elderly individuals three times a week for nine months, from this month until December.


It is expected to prevent solitary deaths by checking on the well-being of elderly living alone and enhancing their emotional stability.
