Kumho Construction has donated rice purchased from a rural farming village to a children's center in Seoul, continuing its support for local farmers and child welfare facilities.
On November 11, Kumho Construction announced that it donated rice produced in Sago-ri, Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungbuk, to the Cheongam Children's Center in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
The rice delivered this time was sourced from Sago-ri, a village with which Kumho Construction has established a One Company One Village partnership. The company supports local farmers by purchasing agricultural products from the village and donating them to the community.
Kumho Construction has been connected with the center since 2009, providing support through facility remodeling and agricultural product donations. The rice donations have been ongoing since 2016. Children at the center have expressed their gratitude by sending handwritten letters to Kumho Construction employees.
Additionally, Kumho Construction sells the rice purchased through the One Company One Village initiative to its employees, using the proceeds to further support the local community. This approach not only aids farmers through product purchases but also channels sales revenue into social contribution activities.
The company is also engaged in employee-driven social contribution initiatives. They donate funds raised through rounding up employee salaries and hosting in-house flea markets, and they provide educational support for multicultural families' youth.
A Kumho Construction representative stated, “We are pleased that the One Company One Village initiative benefits both the students at the children's center and local farmers. We will continue our rice donations and pursue various charitable activities that foster mutual growth between businesses and society.”
