SAMPYO Industry, a core affiliate of SAMPYO Group, decided to support the Milal Welfare Foundation, which is promoting the construction of elderly living facilities in rural areas, by providing 800 bags of mortar (for general plastering, general masonry, and tile adhesion). This will be used to build a one-story elderly living facility (approximately 238.87㎡) scheduled to be established in Gojun-myeon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do in the first half of next year.

The social welfare corporation Milal Welfare Foundation, established in 1993, operates 75 facilities and 9 branches for the elderly, disabled, and local communities, and carries out international development cooperation projects such as childcare, healthcare, and emergency relief in 11 countries overseas.

Mortar, known as "instant cement," is one of SAMPYO Group’s main products. It is a construction material made by pre-mixing cement, sand (aggregate), and admixtures (slag, fly ash), which can be used immediately on-site by simply adding water and mixing.

SAMPYO Group understands the consensus that elderly people want to live in communal living homes within their residential areas rather than unfamiliar urban places, and expects that through customized care such as checking on the well-being and living conditions of solitary and vulnerable elderly, it will become a focal point for mutual care, helping them escape social isolation.

Yoo Yong-jae, head of SAMPYO Group’s social contribution team, said, "We are pleased that SAMPYO Group can contribute to elderly living facilities in preparation for a super-aged society," adding, "We hope that the elderly can spend their later years healthily in a comfortable and familiar community."
