E-Land Foundation Provides 281 Tons of Food Aid to HIV and Tuberculosis Patients in Myanmar

The E-Land Foundation has partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide food and nutritional support to vulnerable patients in the Yangon region of Myanmar.

On June 19, the E-Land Foundation announced that it signed an agreement with WFP in Seoul and held a fund delivery ceremony. Attendees included E-Land Foundation Chairman Jang Kwang-kyu, CEO Jeong Young-il, WFP Korea Director Lee Hyun-ji, and WFP Myanmar Director Michael Dunford.

The initiative will involve a total investment of $231,488 (approximately 320 million won). Over the next year, the E-Land Foundation and WFP will implement a food support program targeting vulnerable patients at seven partner clinics in Yangon.

The program aims to assist approximately 1,700 patients suffering from immunodeficiency diseases, including HIV and tuberculosis. A total of 281 tons of food, including rice and legumes, will be provided. Nutritional assessments, counseling, and health education will also be offered to support the patients' recovery and nutritional needs during their treatment.

E-Land Myanmar has previously engaged in community support activities, including providing clean water and sanitation, improving living conditions, and supporting orphanages. This initiative is part of a broader plan to expand community cooperation. An E-Land Foundation representative stated, "We will continue to work with WFP to ensure that practical support reaches those in need."

In addition, the E-Land Foundation is expanding its support for vulnerable groups both domestically and internationally. On June 18, it held a fund delivery ceremony with BonIF and announced that 10 million won raised through the 'Good Menu, Delicious Donation' campaign will be used to support marginalized future generations. The funds will be distributed as dining vouchers to 500 individuals, including homeless youth, young people preparing for independence, children from vulnerable multicultural families, and isolated youth.
