Ewha Womans University Community Welfare Center (Director: Yeongkyung Lee), an affiliated organization of Ewha Womans University Social Welfare Center (Director: Mihye Kim), was chosen on March 26th, Thursday as the social welfare institution to receive vehicle support from Mercedes-Benz All Together project and will receive Mercedes-Benz C-Class C220d 4Matic as a result. The project is one of the Mercedes-Benz CSR projects, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz CSR committee and supported by social welfare foundation Kids & Future Foundation.
Mercedes-Benz All Together is a campaign aimed at increasing the mobility and medical access as well as supporting social and cultural activities of the socially disadvantaged including people with disabilities. Every year Mercedes-Benz CSR committee and Kids & Future Foundation, a social welfare foundation, receive recommendations from executives and select institutions through thorough evaluation based on factors such as the need for vehicle support and suitability.
Ewha Womans University Social Welfare Center received the opportunity with recommendation from Mercedes-Benz official dealer Motorone’s vice president Hyekyung Son (class of ‘80, social life major) and was ultimately selected.
Ewha alumna Hyekyung Son said “I am aware of the fact that it is difficult to access the welfare center because it is located on top of the hill. I thought this will help provide more accessibility to the elderly and people with disabilities. That is why I provided the Social Welfare Center with the opportunity.” adding that she is very delighted to find out that more people can access and use the center’s services thanks to the vehicle.
Ewha Womans University Social Welfare Center was established in 1956, supporting the socially disadvantaged for 64 years and setting an example for a private social welfare center with practice and ethical management. With the donated vehicle, the center plans to provide more welfare and medical services to the socially disadvantaged including people with disabilities.
