The Saemaul Geumgo Regional Hope Sharing Foundation announced on the 4th that it has donated 200 million won for hygiene products for women, children, and teenagers to mark 'World Menstrual Hygiene Day.'
The donation will be delivered to the NGO G Foundation and used for the 'Healthy Growth Comfort Box Support Project.' This project provides hygiene essentials such as sanitary pads and women's hygiene products to vulnerable women, children, and teenagers struggling to purchase hygiene items.
Through this donation, the foundation plans to provide hygiene product kits to 1,000 women, children, and teenagers nationwide. The kits will consist of six months' worth of sanitary pads, women's hygiene products, cleansing tissues, and underwear.
Kim In, the foundation's chairman, said, 'I hope this support will not only be a simple delivery of goods but also a first step in guaranteeing the basic rights of young women.' He added, 'The foundation will continue to strive for a social environment where anyone can grow healthily without discrimination.'
The foundation is carrying out various public utilities for vulnerable groups in the region. Notably, these include the public medical insurance 'Hope Sharing Deduction' for families facing difficulties due to illness or accidents, the 'Youth Nuri Scholarship' to assist with housing stability and social advancement for young people, and the community welfare event 'Warm Sharing Event.'
