Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it held a ceremony yesterday (June 30) at 4 p.m. at City Hall with the World Vision Busan Office (Head Lee Hyun) to deliver support funds for cooling and heating costs to Dream Start households.

The ceremony was attended by the Director General of the City’s Women and Family Affairs Bureau and Lee Hyun, Head of the World Vision Busan Office.

“Dream Start children” refers to underprivileged children under the age of 12 who receive tailored integrated case management services at Dream Start Centers across the city's 16 districts and counties (gu/gun).

On this occasion, the World Vision Busan Office provided a total of KRW 38.4 million in support funds. These funds will be used to cover the cooling and heating expenses of a total of 128 Dream Start households (80 for summer cooling, 48 for winter heating).

In July, 80 Dream Start households with vulnerable summer cooling conditions will each receive KRW 200,000 for cooling costs, along with approximately KRW 100,000 worth of cooling supplies (such as cooling mats, fans, and summer bedding).

In November, 48 Dream Start households vulnerable to winter cold will each receive approximately KRW 300,000 for heating expenses.

Park Seol-yeon, Director General of the Women and Family Affairs Bureau, stated, “In today’s world, where the climate crisis has become the norm, society as a whole must pay attention to ensuring that children grow up healthily in environments with appropriate temperatures,” adding, “We will continue to identify and support energy-vulnerable child households to help create an environment where children can grow up healthy.”
