According to the Korea Exchange on October 16, it has worked with the nonprofit organization World Vision since 2019 to provide various forms of support, including covering treatment costs for children with rare diseases, providing assistive devices for children with disabilities, and holding camps to strengthen family bonds.

To date, it has supported 185 children with rare diseases, including children from low-income families with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and children from single-parent families with periventricular leukomalacia, as well as children from multicultural families with hypoplastic right heart syndrome.

Korea Exchange Chairman Jung Eun-bo said, "We hope this will ease the financial burdens faced by children and families who need long-term treatment for rare, intractable diseases and help them return to healthy daily lives. We will continue to provide support and attention so that children struggling with rare diseases can grow up healthy and pursue their dreams."
