192 Vehicles Donated Over 10 Years... Hyundai Motor Group Provides Comprehensive Support for Children Who Have Suffered Abuse
Donation of Mobile Counseling Vehicles Through the "iCare Car" Program
Hyundai Motor Group said on October 14 that it held a handover ceremony for its “iCare Car” program on October 13 at the headquarters of the Community Chest of Korea in Jung-gu, Seoul. The ceremony was attended by Lee Hang-su, vice president and head of Hyundai Motor Group’s Policy Support Business Division; Kim Hyun-sook, director general for population and child policy at the Ministry of Health and Welfare; Jin Seok-beom, secretary general of the Community Chest of Korea; and Kim Woong-cheol, secretary general of Good Neighbors.
The “iCare Car” program is a corporate social responsibility initiative that donates vehicles for home visits and mobile counseling for children who have suffered abuse to child protection agencies. It provides specially outfitted vehicles with counseling spaces, including swivel seats for face-to-face counseling, audiovisual education monitors, and psychological therapy supplies.
This year, the group will provide 12 Staria and Carnival vehicles, which can be used for mobile counseling, to 12 child protection agencies nationwide. It will also newly donate eight compact electric vehicles, including the Casper Electric and Ray EV, to eight agencies to enable prompt home visits.
Including this donation, Hyundai Motor Group will have provided a total of 192 vehicles to 86 child protection agencies nationwide from 2014 through 2026. The group is also focused on building a comprehensive support system for children who have suffered abuse through initiatives such as “iCare Home,” which supports renovations to shelters where these children stay, and “iCare Up,” which helps staff at child protection agencies recover psychologically and strengthen their job skills.
