Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 24th that it recently provided a total of 20 million KRW in project funds for the ‘Independence Support Event’ to four single-parent family welfare facilities in the area for single mother families residing in the facilities.

Among the 63 single mother and child welfare facilities nationwide, 4 are located in Seodaemun-gu.

This year, the district designated ‘Enhancement of welfare for home-based single-parent families and strengthening support for facility residents’ as a key project of the ‘Lifetime Companion Life Care Policy’ and allocated a new budget.

Based on the district’s support, each facility conducted various ‘Independence Support Events’ such as independence education, self-help meetings, outings, and cultural experiences involving both current residents and those who have left the facilities. Through these activities, participants shared information and experiences to enhance their independence capabilities.

Single mothers who participated in the program expressed their impressions, saying, “I gained confidence in preparing for employment,” “I obtained useful information about child-rearing through conversations with seniors who had left the facility,” and “It was very helpful to be able to concretely plan the independence process.”

Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, “We will continue to work diligently to support the independence of single mothers residing in facilities and their stable return to the local community after leaving.”
