Jaseng Medical Foundation announced on the 10th that it has donated 10 million won in emergency relief funds to Green Umbrella to help victims and children affected by the massive floods in Nepal.

Green Umbrella plans to deliver emergency relief supplies such as food and water to 2,000 local households and 6,000 children affected by the disaster in Nepal. Among these, a psychosocial support program to help with trauma recovery will be offered to 1,500 children.

Jaseng Medical Foundation has continued its relief activities for domestic disaster-stricken areas. Starting with the supply of goods and medical support to areas affected by flooding in 2020, the foundation also provided donations for wildfire victims on the East Coast in 2022 and bedding sets for areas damaged by heavy rainfall in 2024. From March to April last year, the foundation supported fire victims in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, with meals, daily necessities, and bedding. Last month, it delivered emergency relief supplies worth approximately 20 million won to about 1,200 residents in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, who were affected by heavy rain.

Byungmo Park, Chairman of Jaseng Medical Foundation, stated, “I hope our support can help the victims and children in Nepal who are suffering from sudden disasters regain their daily lives in a safer environment. We will continue to look for places in need beyond borders and steadily carry out social contribution activities to support health and recovery of daily life.”

On August 26, in the Bagmati Province of north-central Nepal, a collapse of Himalayan glaciers and rocks triggered torrents of water and debris, destroying riverside villages, roads, and bridges. According to the Nepal Disaster Management Authority as of September 8, the official death toll stood at 1,357, with 5,326 people still missing.
