Take a look at just a few of the projects that Synergy Korea has facilitated to help children in need within their community.
“Chuseok” Meal Project | 2023
To celebrate the Korean holiday “Chuseok” in September, Synergy Korea helped provide meals for 50 foster families under “foster care”.
Synergy Korea prepared special meal kits to support children who live in foster homes for a set of period time, most of which are currently housed there because their parent(s) are unable to raise the children due to death or imprisonment.
Synergy Korea generously provided a total of ₩10,000,000 (KRW) in donations by supporting the Chuseok preparation, which costs approximately ₩200,000(KRW) per household. The donation ceremony was held at the Synergy Korea Seoul Center on September 11th with the attendance of eight Presidential Executive & above Synergy Korea leaders and two officials from the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, a Korean non-profit organization.
This project, which provided goods for Chuseok holiday, promoted healthy growth and development of children in low-income families. Together, Synergy Korea was able to bring foster families living with community economic difficulties a warm, nutritious holiday meal.
Charity Week Meal Project | 2023
Synergy Korea celebrated Charity Week by supporting children in communities of poverty and those at risk of malnutrition. Together, Synergy Korea dedicated over 100 hours of service and helped to provide meals for 568 vulnerable and low-income children across 19 social care centers throughout the region. The funds for the project were raised with the help of over 300 Synergy distributors and employees.
Hansarang Village, Facility Improvements | 2023
Synergy Korea has helped sponsor improvements for the Hansarang Village facilities to benefit the children and families receiving long-term treatment and care.
To help guarantee the human rights and privacy of the disabled living in the facility, the living space in the facility is changed from a corridor-type row structure to a home-style structure and reorganized into an independent space.
Hansarang Village, Holiday Experience | 2022
Synergy Korea has helped bring holiday cheer to the lives of over 130 children with severe disabilities at Hansarang Village & the Hansarang Disabled Nursery School. Volunteers from Synergy Korea helped to provide a special holiday party full of gifts and goods for the children living at the facility.
“Dream Up” Travel Project | 2022
Synergy Korea helped provide 20 families with the opportunity to travel and “Dream Up” their future career. These 20 families were from low-income communities and were provided the opportunity to travel and make precious memories with their family while the children experienced travel related to their “dream job”. The project helped to create hope for a brighter future for these children and created an opportunity to make once-in-a-lifetime memories for the sponsored families.
“My child grew up early at a young age while nursing a mother with leukemia. In the meantime, I have spent very little time together, let alone travel, because of treatment. Recently, there was a good opportunity of a family trip to find a dream while having outpatient treatment, so I applied because I wanted it to be an opportunity to build good memories with families that I couldn’t build up. My child says that his dream is to become a just and good-hearted judge. I want to go to the court where his future will unfold on this trip and make a lot of precious memories.” Bu Shim *(Child’s Mother)
Support for Children Living in Poverty | 2021-2022
Synergy Korea has been committed to improving the quality of life for the children living in communities of poverty.
