Contributes to Preventing Fires, Gas Leaks, and Improving Quality of Life for Low-Income Single-Parent Families

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, visited the induction stove installation site on the 6th and engaged in conversation with residents.

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will support the installation of induction stoves for 80 low-income single-parent families in the district this year.

This project was established to prevent tragedies like the "Elementary School Brothers Fire Incident" that occurred in September 2020 and to strengthen the safety net for vulnerable groups.

As part of the "Accompanying the Vulnerable" project launched in October 2022, the district began installing induction stoves for single-parent families.

Last year, a total of 58 households were supported with portable induction stoves to create a safer living environment for single-parent families. This year, aiming to install for 80 households, the first phase of support was completed for 40 single-parent families in early July, and the remaining 40 households will be supported in the second phase in November.

The support targets low-income single-parent families in the district who wish to use safe cooking appliances and are selected based on recommendations from each neighborhood community center.

This year as well, considering the beneficiaries' living environments, the district provides portable induction stoves that can be easily moved during relocation. Welfare planners at each neighborhood community center assist with installation and provide guidance on safe usage. Induction stoves feature safety functions such as lock function, automatic power-off, overheating prevention, and time and output control, making them safer to use than gas stoves.

Marking the first anniversary of the 8th elected term, Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon visited a low-income single-parent family in Daerim 1-dong on the 6th. Mayor Choi inspected the induction stove installation and listened to the difficulties and suggestions faced by single-parent families. He promised to build empathy and devise practical support measures for single-parent families.

Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon stated, “The installation of induction stoves will help prevent fires, gas leaks, and fine dust generation, contributing to the improvement of the residential environment for single-parent families,” and added, “We will continue to strive to improve the quality of life for low-income single-parent families.”
