Hana Financial Group is launching a customized integrated support project to promote the healthy growth and economic independence of people with disabilities.

On the 17th, Hana Financial Group held a 'Rehabilitation and Learning Aid Equipment Delivery Ceremony for Children and Adolescents with Disabilities' at the Purme Foundation Nexu Children's Rehabilitation Hospital located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, marking the start of this project.

At the delivery ceremony, Young-Joo Ham, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, attended to review various assistive devices used by children and adolescents with disabilities and offered warm encouragement and support to the children undergoing rehabilitation treatment.

The parent of a child who received rehabilitation assistive devices said, "We needed to replace the assistive devices, and we are glad to receive customized devices suited to our child's growth stage," adding, "We are grateful to Hana Financial Group for helping our child grow healthily."

Hana Financial Group plans to continue providing lifecycle-based customized support through four projects covering rehabilitation, education, employment, and housing welfare.

First, in the rehabilitation sector, customized assistive devices for rehabilitation and learning will be provided to 320 children and adolescents with disabilities. Specifically, 270 individuals will receive rehabilitation assistive devices such as ▲standing trainers ▲walking training walkers ▲posture support chairs, and 50 individuals will be provided with learning assistive devices tailored to their type and degree of disability, including ▲braille input/output devices for the visually impaired ▲lipstick mouse ▲eye mouse.

Second, for 50 developmentally and hearing-impaired individuals with employment intentions, customized job training in patisserie, design, computer office work, barista skills, and social skills education such as resume writing and mock interviews will be conducted to support their transition to employment.

For 20 developmentally disabled and borderline intellectual individuals who require parental care despite being of working age, a parent-accompanied internship program will be implemented. Parents and children will complete employment-related training and then work together at the same workplace. Hana Financial Group will support the wages of the disabled employees.

Lastly, a housing environment improvement project will be carried out for 15 aging residential facilities for people with disabilities nationwide. Renovations and repairs such as waterproofing, wallpapering, and heating system upgrades will be conducted to provide a more comfortable living environment. Up to 15 million KRW will be supported per facility, covering a total of 15 locations. Additionally, three electric vehicles and seven compact cars will be provided.

This project will prioritize customized benefits for people with disabilities who need urgent assistance by carefully reviewing urgency and effectiveness through disability experts based on the degree of disability, income level, and family circumstances.

Chairman Young-Joo Ham stated, "We want to support children and adolescents striving to overcome disabilities to grow into healthy members of society and realize their dreams," adding, "Hana Financial Group will continue to contribute to creating a world where everyone lives together through unwavering support for the rights enhancement and stable social settlement of people with disabilities."
