KB Kookmin Bank Supports Children's Growth with 'KB Ddeundeun Kit'

Food Kits Delivered to 800 Grandparent-Headed Households in Non-Metropolitan Regions
Preventing Nutritional Imbalance During Growth

KB Kookmin Bank announced on June 2 that it has launched the ‘KB Ddeundeun Kit’ food assistance program to promote stable nutrition and healthy growth for children in grandparent-headed households. This initiative was prepared to provide these children with reliable and well-balanced meals.

The beneficiaries are 800 grandparent-headed households with grandchildren under the age of 18, residing in seven non-metropolitan regions: Gangwon, North Chungcheong, South Chungcheong, North Jeolla, South Jeolla, North Gyeongsang, and South Gyeongsang. The ‘KB Ddeundeun Kit’ consists of healthy ready-to-eat meals, nutritional supplements needed by both children and grandparents, and an essential emergency kit for home use. These kits will be delivered directly to each household.

A KB Kookmin Bank official stated, “We will continue to carry out tailored inclusive finance activities for local communities so that children and adolescents in care blind spots can grow up healthy.”

In May, KB Kookmin Bank selected one location in Seoul and four local sites—Wonju in Gangwon and Cheongju in North Chungcheong, among others—for its ‘KB Dream Home’ support program for young people preparing to live independently. The bank plans to proceed with customized remodeling of these residential facilities. ‘KB Dream Home’ is a social contribution program that not only creates pleasant living environments but also provides job consulting, support for obtaining certifications, and other capacity-building programs for self-reliance.
