The Ulsan Metropolitan City Welfare Center for the Visually Impaired plans to use the donation to promote a mutual prosperity welfare project for the visually impaired, which will focus on strengthening family functions, enhancing job capabilities, and improving health rights for the visually impaired.

This project is expected to contribute to improving the physical and psychological health of visually impaired individuals in the Ulsan region and to strengthening their self-reliance and emotional bonds within families.

The family function enhancement program consists of family counseling, parent education, and experiential activities. As part of the job capability enhancement program, education in baking, pastry, and barista skills will be provided, and employment opportunities will be linked for visually impaired individuals who have obtained relevant certifications. A health rights promotion program will also be implemented to support dental implant treatment costs for low-income visually impaired individuals.

Since 2018, Onsan Smelter has continued various social contribution activities to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities, such as providing computers, braille printers, and assistive technology devices. Recently, the company has been operating vocational training and various programs to promote family relationships, thereby supporting the economic and emotional independence of the visually impaired.

Park Sungwoong, Head of the Management Support Division at Korea Zinc Onsan Smelter, said, "To promote the welfare and self-reliance of the visually impaired, it is important to provide integrated support that addresses family, work, and health, rather than offering fragmented assistance. We will continue to engage in social contribution activities that make a tangible difference in improving the quality of life for vulnerable neighbors in the Ulsan community, including those with visual impairments."
