Opening Ceremony of the BPA-Sponsored Child Housing Improvement Project 'A Home That Feels Like Home'

Busan Port Authority (BPA) attended the completion and move-in ceremony of ‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ held at Woori Convention Wedding Hall in Dong-gu, Busan on the 31st.

‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ is a housing renovation and repair project initiated by the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to guarantee the housing rights of children from low-income families by providing living environments that meet or exceed minimum housing standards.

The authority sponsored furniture worth approximately 2 million KRW, including beds and desks with chairs, for one family selected as a project beneficiary.

Last year, BPA also supported four families selected for the ‘Jibdawon Jibeuro’ project by providing desks with chairs, beds, wardrobes, and other furniture.

Separately, as part of the first of its three major social contribution strategies, ‘Happiness Sea Love Sharing (solving local issues and regional participation),’ BPA has been conducting a housing and learning environment improvement project for low-income families since 2021 as one of its ‘Visiting Social Contribution Projects’ in collaboration with Dong-gu Office and Dong-gu Comprehensive Social Welfare Center in Busan.

This year, support was provided to 14 families in the Dong-gu area, including remodeling children’s rooms, supplying daily necessities, and wallpapering and flooring work.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “Our social contribution projects, which listen to the difficulties of marginalized neighbors and work with local governments to solve them, are gradually bearing fruit. We will continue to strive to ensure that children, who will be the future leaders, grow up healthy in a healthy environment.”
