Seegene employees donate 5.82 million won for children affected by Nepal floods

[Financial News] A total of 5.82 million won was raised to help children and residents affected by the major floods in Nepal recover their daily lives. The donation, voluntarily collected by employees of the biotech company Seegene, will be used for ChildFund Korea's emergency relief efforts on the ground.
ChildFund Korea, a specialized child welfare organization, said on the 14th that it and Seegene held a donation handover ceremony on the 13th at the Children's Foundation Building in Jung-gu, Seoul. ChildFund Korea plans to use the donation for its ongoing relief efforts in Nepal to help stabilize the lives of children and residents affected by the floods.
ChildFund Korea dispatched an emergency relief team immediately after the major floods struck Nepal last August. It has assessed the damage with local agencies and partner organizations, provided relief supplies and temporary shelter, and supported children's psychological and emotional recovery. It is also expanding its relief efforts through fundraising campaigns involving companies and individuals in South Korea.
A Seegene spokesperson said, "We hope this donation will help, even in a small way, children and residents in the affected areas recover their daily lives."
Sin Jeong-won, head of ChildFund Korea's Social Contribution Cooperation Division, said, "Climate-related disasters can cause even greater hardship for children in vulnerable circumstances, making rapid assistance important. ChildFund Korea will continue providing the necessary relief so that children in the affected areas can recover their daily lives in a safe environment."
Meanwhile, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said in an announcement on the 9th that at least 32,000 children were affected by the floods in Nepal in August.
