Jinan County to Provide 'Childbirth Package' Support to Newborn Families Starting This Month

Birth Package Project Launched in Jinan County
to Support Families with Newborns
Funded by the Hometown Love Donation Program

Jinan County in North Jeolla Province will begin providing a "birth package" to celebrate the birth of babies in families, using funds raised through the Hometown Love Donation Program starting this month.

According to the county on the 4th, this project was launched to address the issue of low birth rates in the region and to foster a supportive atmosphere for pregnancy and childbirth.

After securing funds from the Hometown Love Donation Program, the county conducted a survey of mothers last year to gather their opinions for effective project implementation.

Based on the survey results, the number of items in the package was expanded (from 6 to 7 types) and now includes practical supplies for mothers and newborns such as a swaddle suit, baby bottle cleanser, bottle cleaning brush, waterproof diaper bag, pacifier, and seaweed for mothers. The support is available to mothers registered as residents in the county, who can receive the package by visiting the Maternal and Child Health Office at the local health center.

A county official stated, "Thanks to the donors who participated in the Hometown Love Donation Program, we are now able to provide practical support to families with newborns through this project. We will do our best to ensure the project is successful so that donors can feel a sense of fulfillment beyond simply making a donation."

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation Program is a system where individuals can donate to any local government except for the one where they are registered as residents, contributing to regional development. Donors can receive a full tax deduction for donations up to 100,000 KRW and receive a return gift equivalent to 30% of their donation amount.
