JB Financial Group Produces Health Kits for Undocumented Migrant Children... "Will Create an Environment Protecting Basic Rights"

Part of the Jointly Promoted 'Project 169' with UNICEF

JB Financial Group announced that it conducted a kit-making volunteer activity this month to support the health of undocumented migrant children born in Korea and their mothers.

This volunteer effort is part of 'Project 169,' which is jointly promoted by JB Financial Group and UNICEF.

Project 169 is a public-private governance initiative that discovers undocumented children in administrative blind spots and provides medical, educational, and protective services, based on the right to birth registration as stipulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Constitution.

Through this project, JB Financial Group and its affiliate JB Woori Capital achieved the milestone of discovering a total of 53 undocumented children last year in Siheung and Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

As part of this volunteer activity, approximately 50 members of the Seed Volunteer Group, a volunteer team of JB Financial Group employees, assembled around 180 infant development kits and kits for undocumented mothers and newborns on the 9th, and about 120 home emergency medical kits on the 27th.

The emergency medical kits include instruction leaflets translated into six languages—English, Russian, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean—attached in the form of QR code stickers. JB Financial Group's foreign employees contributed to the translation work.

JB Financial Group plans to deliver the kits to households with undocumented children in a total of seven regions: Siheung, Hwaseong, and Suwon in Gyeonggi Province; Gwangsan-gu in Gwangju; Gimje and Namwon in North Jeolla Province; and Yeongam County in South Jeolla Province, all of which are local governments participating in the Project 169 agreement.

Choi Jinseok, Executive Vice President and Head of External Cooperation at JB Financial Group, stated, "We will continue to do our utmost to create an environment where the basic rights of undocumented children are protected by further strengthening the public-private cooperation system in partnership with UNICEF."

The Seed Volunteer Group, a volunteer team composed of employees of JB Financial Group, conducted kit-making volunteer activities on the 9th and 27th for unregistered migrant children born in Korea and their mothers.
