The city of Gwangju announced on the 26th that it is publicly recruiting organizations and groups to participate in the '2025 Senior Welfare Fund Support Project' until the 28th.

This year’s support project is recruiting in two areas: ▲ three cooking classes for seniors who have difficulty preparing meals, and ▲ one smartphone education program for seniors who struggle to adapt to digitalization. Subsidies will be provided after review, within the total budget of 50 million KRW.

Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, senior welfare facilities and institutions, and other organizations or groups that have been operating in Gwangju for at least one year with a track record of promoting senior welfare, or that conduct projects related to the contest’s theme.

Kim Younghwa, Director of the Policy for an Aging Society Division, said, “We are promoting a customized project contest to respond to the increase in single-person senior households and the digital divide among seniors in Gwangju,” and added, “We hope for active participation from organizations with experience and capabilities.”
