Sanwoemyeon Sanbonguribong Volunteer Group in Miryang Launches 'ON Home in Sanbonguri' Project

For Elderly Individuals Living Alone Vulnerable to Heatwaves

The Sanbonguribong Volunteer Group of Sanwoemyeon, Miryang City, Gyeongsangnam-do, implemented a project to improve the housing conditions of elderly people living alone who are vulnerable to heatwaves in the area, as part of its 'ON(溫) Home in Sanbonguri' initiative, which was selected as an excellent volunteer program project by Miryang City.

The initiative, carried out on August 8, was established to help enhance the housing conditions of elderly individuals living alone who struggle to maintain hygiene due to the absence of indoor bathrooms and wash facilities, especially during the heatwave.

For the households selected, indoor bathrooms and wash facilities will be installed to ensure they can live safely and comfortably even during the hot summer months.

On that day, 15 members participated to assist at the construction site and paid careful attention to the daily inconveniences of the recipients, helping to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

Jin Gap Kim, head of the volunteer group, said, "We came together with the hope that our efforts would provide at least some help to the elderly suffering from the heat," adding, "We will continue to work on housing improvements and sharing activities for neighbors in need in our community."

Hyeon Jeong Ju, head of Sanwoemyeon, expressed gratitude, stating, "I thank the members of the Sanbonguribong Volunteer Group for carrying out their compassionate service for neighbors despite the hot weather," and added, "The local administration will also carefully monitor the living conditions of vulnerable groups and actively support all residents so they can have a safe and healthy summer."

This project is expected to significantly improve housing conditions and ensure basic hygiene even during severe heatwaves.
