Housing Improvement and Livelihood Support for Vulnerable Families Since 2021

Supporting Neighbors in Need for 4 Years... Over 360 People in 3 Years

Busan Port Authority (BPA) will continue the "Visiting Social Contribution Project Near the Port" in collaboration with nearby local governments in 2024.

2023 Dream Realization Study Room Support Project (To a Home-like House) Opening Ceremony.

This project is a social contribution initiative started by BPA to visit the district offices near the port directly, listen to local issues, and work together to solve difficulties.

▲Jung-gu's "Happiness Mailbox Hope Sharing Project" ▲Dong-gu's "Creating Dream Realization Study Rooms" ▲Yeongdo-gu's "Visiting Hope Lighthouse Project" ▲Nam-gu's "Meal Kit Support Project for Middle-aged Single-person Households" will be carried out respectively.

Jung-gu's "Happiness Mailbox Hope Sharing Project" collects stories from low-income individuals facing difficulties through happiness mailboxes installed at Jung-gu Office and local welfare centers, providing support such as living expenses.

Dong-gu's "Creating Dream Realization Study Rooms" is a project to improve the rooms of children from low-income families to enhance their housing rights. It provides desks, beds, furniture, and other items for children living in poor housing conditions.

Yeongdo-gu's "Visiting Hope Lighthouse Project" supports healthy meals for children at risk of food insecurity by delivering lunch boxes and providing nutritional counseling. The lunch boxes are provided by a community restaurant operated by a local self-sufficiency center that offers employment opportunities to low-income groups.

Nam-gu's "Meal Kit Support Project for Middle-aged Single-person Households" delivers meal kits and dairy products to low-income middle-aged single-person households in welfare blind spots to help improve their diet and check on their well-being.

Since 2021, over 360 residents in need have benefited from this project over the past three years.

One local resident said, "I was worried that if I had an accident, no one would know because I have no one to meet, but they check on me and deliver food, so I am really grateful," expressing anticipation for this year's project as well.

BPA President Kang Jun-seok said, "The visiting social contribution project started four years ago to consider and solve local issues together with local governments. We will carry out this year's project well to become a public institution that grows together with the local community."
