The signing ceremony for the "Save Our Gyeongnam Project Business Agreement," held at the BNK Gyeongnam Bank headquarters meeting room, was attended by Choi Daesik, department head; Jung Eunhee, head of the Gyeongnam Child Rights Center at Save the Children; and Moon Seongsuk, head of the Gyeongsangnam-do Childcare Support Center, among others.


According to the Save Our Gyeongnam Project Business Agreement, the three organizations will cooperate to support overcoming the region's low birth rate and population extinction crisis.


BNK Gyeongnam Bank will utilize the donation previously contributed to the IBA Foundation (Impact Business Foundation) for the "BANKit Special Campaign," one of the bank's joint social contribution projects, as funding for the "Save Our Gyeongnam Project" and will plan and assemble the "BNK Childbirth Supplies KIT."


As the distribution agency, Save the Children will support the Gyeongsangnam-do Childcare Support Center so that the donation previously contributed by BNK Gyeongnam Bank to the IBA Foundation can be used as funding for the Save Our Gyeongnam Project.


The Gyeongsangnam-do Childcare Support Center will provide the BNK Childbirth Supplies KIT, prepared with the Save Our Gyeongnam Project funds, to pregnant women in cities and counties of Gyeongnam at risk of population extinction.


The BNK Childbirth Supplies KIT includes well-known brand bath products, double-sided waterproof mats, stainless steel straw cups, Jjanggu pillows, and congratulatory cards for childbirth, all needed by pregnant women and babies.


Choi Daesik, head of the Social Contribution PR Department, stated, "It is highly meaningful in itself to come together to overcome the social issues facing our region. I hope the Save Our Gyeongnam Project will help support overcoming the low birth rate and population extinction crisis and contribute to making Gyeongnam a better place to live. Going forward, BNK Gyeongnam Bank will continue to come up with ideas so that the Save Our Gyeongnam Project can be carried out continuously."


Meanwhile, following the business agreement to provide the BNK Childbirth Supplies KIT to pregnant women in cities and counties of Gyeongnam, BNK Gyeongnam Bank is also planning a second business agreement to support children in areas at risk of population extinction.
