KSD Sharing Foundation Donates 60 Million Won to "Sharing Daily Necessities with Love" Event

The KSD Sharing Foundation of Korea Securities Depository (Chairman Lee Sunho) delivered a total of 60 million won in sponsorship funds (30 million won to each organization) to two groups-the Busan Namgu Disabled Association (President Jeong Chanyong) and the Busan Federation of the Visually Impaired (President Kim Bokmyung)-at its Busan headquarters on October 14 to support the "Sharing Daily Necessities with Love" event.

This sponsorship was organized in celebration of White Cane Day (Visually Impaired Persons’ Day, observed annually on October 15) to support people with disabilities in the Busan area and to contribute to revitalizing the local economy.

The Busan Namgu Disabled Association and the Busan Federation of the Visually Impaired, which received the sponsorship funds, plan to purchase rice and instant noodles from local small business owners and distribute them to approximately 2,300 households in the Busan area.

Lee Sunho, Chairman of the KSD Sharing Foundation, stated, "Although this is a small gesture, I hope it conveys warmth to our neighbors," adding, "We will continue our efforts to support the local community in the future."

Since 2015, the KSD Sharing Foundation has been practicing warm sharing by providing daily necessities such as rice, instant noodles, and coal briquettes to socially disadvantaged groups in the Busan area every year. To date, a total of 520 million won has been donated to 21,500 households.
