[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hana Financial Group announced on the 6th that it will carry out the ‘Gachi (Value) Edu’ support project through the group’s public interest foundation, the Youth Root Foundation, established as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.
The ‘Gachi (Value) Edu’ support project aims to address learning loss and educational gaps among youth living in child welfare facilities, which have deepened due to COVID-19. Learning mentoring by university student mentors will be provided to about 200 selected youths nationwide until November next year.
This support project will be operated online in a non-face-to-face manner to expand educational welfare services, which have been concentrated in the metropolitan area, to local regions. To enhance learning efficiency, all university student mentors and target youths will be paired one-on-one. The learning mentoring, conducted twice a week, will be accompanied by various cultural activity programs such as attending performances along with systematic educational support.
Kim Jung-tae, Chairman of Hana Financial Group and Chairman of the Youth Root Foundation, said, “Hana Financial’s commitment to expanding ESG management has led to supporting the healthy growth of youths in welfare blind spots,” and added, “We will continue to serve as a platform for happiness and growth to contribute to the sustainable growth and welfare of youths, who are the protagonists of the future generation.”
