About 40 Kumho Construction executives and employees participated in the volunteer activity. In preparation for the busy spring farming season, they helped with tasks such as carrying seedling trays, transplanting rice seedlings, and working in fields of chili peppers, soybeans, and ginseng.

Kumho Construction has maintained a one-company-one-village partnership with Sagok-ri Village since 2014. Every year during the busy farming seasons (May and October), they visit the village to carry out volunteer activities and support farmers facing difficulties in sales by purchasing rice directly cultivated in the village and selling it to Kumho Construction employees. The proceeds from these sales are used for the ‘DOVE’s Campaign,’ which provides support funds for children in vulnerable groups and disaster relief.

Additionally, leveraging its strengths as a construction company, Kumho Construction remodels aging houses in Sagok-ri Village by repairing exterior wall cracks, replacing old wallpaper and flooring, and installing portable restrooms.

A Kumho Construction representative said, “It is meaningful that our small help can bring joy to the residents of Sagok-ri Village. We look forward to the harvest of crops every year as if it were our own.” He added, “We will continue to carry out exchange activities that connect urban and rural areas to support the local community and further expand social contribution activities, including the one-company-one-village partnership.”
