This project was designed with the goal of providing practical assistance to girls and young women from vulnerable backgrounds and supporting their healthy development.
The foundation is committed to supporting marginalized groups within local communities through a variety of initiatives, including the "Hope Sharing Mutual Aid" public medical insurance support project for children and youth from vulnerable backgrounds, the "Youth Nuri Scholarship" program for supporting stable housing and social advancement for young people, and the "Onjeong Sharing Event," a community-tailored sharing event.
Kim In, Chairman of the Foundation, stated, "I hope this project will serve as the first step in guaranteeing the basic rights of girls and young women, going beyond simply providing supplies," adding, "The foundation will do its utmost to create a social environment where children and young people can grow up safely and healthily without any worries."
