HanmiGlobal said on the 19th that, together with the social welfare foundation "Warm Accompaniment," it completed the "Vietnam spatial welfare support project" to improve the housing environment of families with disabilities living in Hai Phong City, Vietnam.
Warm Accompaniment has been running a spatial welfare support project since 2010 to improve housing and living environments at facilities for people with disabilities in Korea. Since 2017, it has expanded the project to families with disabilities in Vietnam and to families of veterans who took part in the Korean War from the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Türkiye. So far, it has improved a total of 2,035 spaces, including 1,925 social welfare facilities and homes for people with disabilities in Korea and 110 homes for overseas veterans and families with disabilities.
This year, through HanmiGlobal's Vietnam office, it renovated four aging dwellings of families with disabilities living in Hai Phong City to create a safer and more hygienic living environment. One recipient among the households that received support said, "After the home repairs, rain no longer leaks in and wind no longer comes through, so it is much more comfortable, and I am truly grateful to everyone who provided support because I can welcome guests during this holiday." A village official from the Khuc Thua Du area also noted, "A resident with an intellectual disability had been living alone in a dilapidated house and facing many difficulties, but thanks to this spatial welfare support project, they can now stay in a cleaner and safer space. We are deeply grateful and hope this warm sharing spreads widely."
At the completion ceremony for the spatial welfare support project held in Binh Giang District, Hai Duong Province, the families with disabilities who were the beneficiaries and nearby residents attended, along with Lee Min-woo, head of HanmiGlobal's Vietnam office, Ha Thi Lan Anh, vice chairperson of the local People's Committee, and officials from the Hai Duong Province Vocational Education Center.
