On the 18th, the Saemaul Geumgo Central Association (President Kim In) announced on the 19th that it participated in the "Joint Campaign to Prevent Child Abduction and Luring," organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety at Gwangnam Elementary School in Suyeong-gu, Busan. The association conducted safety inspections for students commuting to and from school and carried out on-site promotional activities.

This campaign is a nationwide safety enhancement project in which the government, local governments, education offices, and community organizations are all participating, following a series of recent child abduction and luring incidents across the country that have heightened public anxiety. Starting with the on-site inspection in Busan, the campaign will be rolled out sequentially nationwide until the 21st.

President Kim In, Director Choi Hoon, and other executives and staff members of the Saemaul Geumgo Central Association took part in the event, carrying out practical prevention activities such as inspecting child protection zones and Safe Houses, providing personal safety alarms to students on their way home, and distributing leaflets on child protection systems and safety rules.

Of particular note, the safety leaflets distributed to students drew attention for their systematic summary of action guidelines that children can follow to respond independently in crisis situations.

President Kim In stated, "As a financial cooperative that has grown together with the local community, it is meaningful for Saemaul Geumgo to contribute to ensuring children’s safe and happy commutes to and from school," adding, "We will continue to actively participate in building a local safety network in the future."
