The "Raising Multiple Children Together" project is a newly launched initiative by Changwon City this year to reduce the economic burden on families with multiple children in having and raising children and to create a warm atmosphere of shared celebration.

Sponsors including companies, organizations, and individuals are being recruited to provide a birth congratulatory gift of 1 million KRW through the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation for the birth of a third child or more.

Mayor Hong said, “I am grateful that the local community has shown interest and participated to provide economic support for families with multiple children. We will continue to strive to widely expand the ‘Raising Multiple Children Together’ project and create a child-friendly environment.”

The Changwon citizens’ love-sharing "Raising Multiple Children Together" project aims to raise 200 million KRW and has collected about 90 million KRW since last December with participation from Gyeongnam Bank, Wooju Electric, Nonghyup, Beomhan, Changwon City Public Officials Labor Union, and Changwon City Women’s Association.

Starting in February, applications will be accepted at the town and township offices for families with a third child whose income is below 80% of the median income. (However, the support target and timing may change depending on the amount raised.) Companies, organizations, or individuals wishing to participate in sponsorship can contact the Green Umbrella Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters Sharing Project Team or the Changwon City Women and Family Division.
