This project began in September with the signing of the 'Together with KPS' business agreement for supporting multicultural families in the Uljin region. It included Korean language education, energy efficiency remodeling, and energy welfare support.

Through this initiative, marriage immigrant women who participated in Korean language education classes not only improved their Korean language skills but, in some cases, also acquired Korean citizenship, thereby securing stable legal status and becoming recognized as Korean nationals.

In addition, as part of the housing environment improvement project, outdated sinks and lighting fixtures were replaced in six vulnerable multicultural households, enhancing convenience and safety. Furthermore, 900,000 won in total heating cost support was provided to 36 households using heating oil, with each household receiving 250,000 won, effectively alleviating the burden of winter heating costs.

Min Jongsik, Head of Shin Hanul Unit 1, stated, "Through this support project, we have witnessed a significant improvement in the quality of life for multicultural families," adding, "We will continue to actively engage in social contribution activities that promote mutual growth with the local community."
