K-Bank is expanding inclusive finance through a collaborative social contribution project that links the support of vulnerable groups with the promotion of small businesses.
On October 6, K-Bank announced that it has delivered selected high-quality products from small businesses to 20 welfare organizations in Seoul as part of its 'Small Business Hope Connection Project.'
The Hope Connection Project aims to purchase products from small businesses that have competitive offerings but struggle to secure sales channels, and then distribute these products to organizations that support vulnerable groups. To support this initiative, K-Bank donated 66 million won to the Small Business Hope Foundation in February.
A total of 232 small businesses participated in this project nationwide. After a review process, 20 products were selected, including 12 food items and 8 household goods. The selected products consist of food items, bedding sets, kimchi containers, and toothbrushes.
The products were delivered to 20 welfare organizations in Seoul, and they are expected to support approximately 1,800 individuals from low-income households and the near-poor.
A K-Bank representative stated, "We will continue our social contribution activities to connect small businesses with the community, creating a virtuous cycle where excellent products from small businesses find new sales channels and reach those in need."
