Kumho Construction buys rice from partner village and donates it to a children’s center, fostering shared growth with farmers and the local community

[Financial News] Kumho Construction donated rice purchased from a partner village to a local children’s center again this year. The charitable effort supports farms by purchasing agricultural products and then passes them on to the local community.
Kumho Construction said on the 11th that it had donated rice produced in Sagok-ri, Jeungpyeong County, North Chungcheong Province, to the Cheongam Community Children’s Center in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Sagok-ri is partnered with Kumho Construction under the One Company, One Village program.
The Cheongam Community Children’s Center is a child welfare facility that provides local students with after-school academic support. Kumho Construction has maintained ties with the center since 2009 and has supported facility renovations and donations of agricultural products, among other efforts.
As it did last year, the children at the center sent handwritten thank-you letters to employees again this year. One student wrote, "I’ll keep enjoying my meals without leaving any rice uneaten, and when I grow up, I want to become someone who can help others."
Kumho Construction has continued its rice donations since 2016. It also sells rice purchased from partner villages to employees and donates the proceeds to the local community.
The company also runs social contribution programs, including collecting spare change from employees’ salaries, donating flea market proceeds, and providing educational support for young people from multicultural families.
A Kumho Construction representative said, "We are pleased that the One Company, One Village program can benefit both the students at the children’s center and local farmers. Having continued our rice donations steadily, we will keep pursuing a range of charitable activities that enable businesses and society to thrive together."
