South Korean organizations launch welfare initiatives for vulnerable groups
Various community and financial organizations in South Korea are implementing support programs for vulnerable populations. In Yongin, local groups and residents are providing medical supplies, seasonal fruit, and side dishes to elderly and low-income households. Additionally, residents in Sinbong-dong are using proceeds from sweet potato harvests to fund local welfare projects, while students from Yongin Green Graduate School donated indoor gardens to a facility for the disabled.
In Seoul, the Woori Financial Group Future Foundation has donated 30 million won to support the replacement of eco-friendly boilers for 100 vulnerable households in Dongjak-gu. This initiative, conducted in cooperation with the Dongjak-gu Office and the Seoul Social Welfare Council, aims to reduce heating costs and air pollution. The foundation also plans to distribute winter supplies, such as blankets and electric mats, to vulnerable residents in Seoul this November.
To prevent social isolation, local authorities in Yongin are strengthening cooperation between administrative centers and emergency services to identify at-risk households and prevent solitary deaths.
