Korean Air Volunteers at Children's Orphanage in Nepal, Working Hard with Dedication

Korean Air announced on the 22nd that its in-house volunteer members conducted facility installation and educational volunteer activities at a children's orphanage in the Chitwan region of Nepal from the 15th to the 20th.

Chitwan, located about 150 km southwest of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is an area where most of the natural environment is well preserved, but lacks social infrastructure such as electricity, water supply, schools, and medical facilities.

Korean Air volunteers worked hard to install vulnerable hot water heating facilities at the ‘Somang-ui Jip’ orphanage, where underprivileged children live, and installed necessary audio equipment in each classroom. They also taught Korean and English to the children at the orphanage and provided simple medicines such as nutritional supplements, considering the local shortage of medical facilities.

Before COVID-19, in May 2019, Korean Air installed children's playground equipment here and delivered medicines to nearby residents. A month later, in June, they invited teenagers from the orphanage to Busan, where they enjoyed visiting major tourist attractions together.

In line with its status as a global airline, Korean Air conducts sharing management by visiting overseas orphanages and nursing homes, with direct participation from its executives and employees. In November last year, they visited the ‘Hope Zion International School’ in Tramkna, Cambodia, to carry out facility repairs and educational programs. In January 2020, they conducted dormitory construction and cleaning activities at an orphanage in the Tondano area of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

Korean Air is an airline fulfilling its social responsibility as a global airline through various sharing activities. It plans to realize the value of sharing in communities worldwide through proactive sharing management activities suited to the post-COVID-19 era.
