Daewoo Construction Takes Active Role in Repairing Homes of Independence Patriots' Descendants

Daewoo E&C has undertaken the remodeling of deteriorated old houses inhabited by descendants of independence activists for the third consecutive year. On the 15th, Daewoo E&C announced that on the 14th, it renovated the old houses of independence activists' descendants in Donghae, Gangwon Province, in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Korea. Daewoo E&C donated 200 million KRW to Habitat for Humanity and is currently carrying out the renovation of seven old houses belonging to descendants of independence activists.

Daewoo E&C announced on the 15th that it renovated the old house of a descendant of an independence activist in Donghae, Gangwon Province, together with Habitat for Humanity Korea on the 14th.

Daewoo E&C employees carried out exterior painting work at the old house of Ms. Choi Young-ja. Habitat for Humanity supported the overall remodeling work including interior insulation, windows, and flooring. Ms. Choi Young-ja’s grandfather, the late independence activist Choi Dae-hee, was active as a liaison and propaganda officer for the Saeun Nongmin Association (쇄운농민조합) before being arrested and imprisoned. In 2006, his contributions to the independence movement were recognized, and he was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation.

A Daewoo E&C official said, “We hope that the descendants of independence activists can enjoy a comfortable life in a cozy living environment. Since this project has been steadily carried out for three years since 2021, we will continue to cooperate with Habitat for Humanity Korea to do our best to improve the living conditions of independence activists’ descendants.”

Since 2001, Daewoo E&C has been conducting the “Repairing Houses of Hope” campaign, carrying out facility repairs for families struggling due to deteriorated housing. Since 2018, it has expanded its activities in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Korea and has participated in various social contribution activities, including residential environment improvement projects for vulnerable groups in cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
