On the 17th, the international development cooperation NGO G Foundation (CEO Park Chung-kwan) announced that broadcaster Yoo Byung-jae donated 10 million won to support sanitary pads for vulnerable women and teenage girls in the country.
Since 2019, broadcaster Yoo Byung-jae has maintained a relationship with G Foundation and has donated a total of 160 million won to date. He has been practicing consistent giving for vulnerable groups in Korea by participating in various support projects, including providing sanitary products for teenage girls, supporting single mothers, and offering psychological therapy for abused children.
In particular, this donation will be used to address the lack of sanitary pads for vulnerable teenage girls and will be utilized in G Foundation's health and hygiene support projects. A sanitary pad kit consisting of sanitary pads, feminine wash, underwear, and pouches will be produced and delivered to vulnerable teenage girls in the country.
Yoo Byung-jae stated, "I started sponsoring this cause with the hope that no one would be hurt or marginalized due to basic hygiene issues," adding, "Though it is a small gesture, I hope it will be warmly delivered to teenage girls in need."
CEO Park Chung-kwan of G Foundation remarked, "Mr. Yoo Byung-jae's ongoing giving provides a valuable opportunity to offer tangible assistance to teenage girls who face challenges due to period poverty," expressing gratitude for the continuous support and warm actions, and ensuring that the sponsor's intentions will be responsibly implemented in the field.
G Foundation has been running health and hygiene support projects for teenage girls since 2019 and is working to address health and hygiene blind spots through not only providing sanitary pad kits but also offering underwear, remodeling sanitary facilities, and implementing gender-sensitive education and emotional support programs.
Meanwhile, G Foundation is an international development cooperation NGO that has obtained special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) and is actively conducting various projects, including educational support and healthcare initiatives targeting developing countries, domestic support projects for children and youth, low-income women support projects, and social economy initiatives.
