13 Infant-Only Childcare Centers in Suwon Donate Funds for Low-Income Families' Children

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Thirteen infant-only childcare centers in Suwon donated 1 million won to Suwon City for children from low-income families.

The donation ceremony was held on the 9th at the office of Seo Kyung-bo, Director of the Suwon City Welfare and Women Affairs Bureau. Seo and directors of infant-only childcare centers attended the event.

The 1 million won donation was raised through contributions from directors operating infant-only childcare centers in Suwon.

Thirteen childcare centers participated in the donation: Kkumdong-i, Alkkong-dalkkong, Neulpurun, Jaeinuri, Ara, Toto, Gaon, Neulsarang, Dungeuli Young Child Center, Uman Saimdang, Petit Angel, Kkotbyeol, and Happy Eye.

The city plans to designate the donation to the Gyeonggi Community Chest of Korea and use it to support low-income single-parent families in the area.

Yoo Seung-a, Regional Director of the Suwon Area Association of Infant-Only Childcare Centers (Director of Neulpurun Childcare Center), said, "We hope this contribution can help those facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19."

Meanwhile, "infant-only childcare centers," operated only in Gyeonggi Province, refer to childcare facilities dedicated to caring for children aged 0 to 1 year old.
