Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin, Kim Jae-young, Head of Save the Children Central Region 2, and Lee Seon-deok, Director of Cheoin Disabled Welfare Center, attended the signing ceremony held at the reception hall of Yongin City Hall, where the organizations pledged to join forces for projects supporting children with developmental disabilities.

The 'Play Support Project for Children with Disabilities' is a program where play instructors visit the homes of children with developmental disabilities, who have low accessibility to service institutions, once a week to conduct play programs. Save the Children is implementing the project, and Cheoin Disabled Welfare Center has been selected as the executing agency.

To this end, Yongin City and Save the Children are providing 127.15 million KRW in funding for this project. Cheoin Disabled Welfare Center, selected as the executing agency through a public contest, will provide 108 hours of play therapy programs per child annually from this month until December.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "We will pay close attention and provide unwavering support so that people with disabilities, disabled students, and children with disabilities can live comfortably without inconvenience in their daily lives." Head Kim also expressed expectations that "Cheoin Disabled Welfare Center, which successfully carried out the project last year, will continue to effectively advance projects to promote the rights of children with disabilities this year as well."
