The Korea Island Development Institute (KIDI, President Oh Dong-ho) announced on the 10th that it conducted a ‘Happy Laundry Service Visiting Island Villages’ for vulnerable groups on Amtaedo Island, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do.

This volunteer activity was carried out as part of KIDI’s community contribution efforts, in collaboration with the Sinan-gun Resident Welfare Division and the Amtae-myeon Community Security Council.

They collected large laundry items such as blankets and quilts weighing 350 kg from 50 households, including elderly living alone and disabled families recommended by Sinan-gun, washed them in a mobile laundry vehicle, and then delivered them back to the respective homes.

Established in September 2021, KIDI has been conducting various community contribution activities since 2022, including ESG projects with Gwangju Shinsegae, traditional market accompaniment campaigns, local park environmental conservation campaigns, opening the rooftop (Dalbit Madang) of its office building, and visiting welfare facilities.

Oh Dong-ho, President of KIDI, said, “It is meaningful to help vulnerable groups such as elderly people with mobility difficulties to have a comfortable summer,” and added, “We will continue to carry out various social contribution activities to realize a warm KIDI that works together with the local community.”
