Hanssem announced that it has improved the educational space at Mugunghwa School, a facility for lifelong learners located in Iksan, North Jeolla Province, and held a completion ceremony on August 24.
Founded in 1975, Mugunghwa School serves as an educational institution for seniors who missed learning opportunities due to economic and social difficulties. Currently, over 60 lifelong learners are pursuing their education, supported by about 20 teachers who offer basic Korean language education, literacy classes, and exam preparation courses.
Previously, the school faced challenges due to a lack of funding, leading to the reuse of discarded desks and chairs and the use of lockers as makeshift lecterns, resulting in a poor overall educational environment.
In response, Hanssem provided more than 90 pieces of essential office furniture, including desks, chairs, personal storage units, bookshelves, and lecterns, taking into account the physical needs and learning pathways of the seniors.
Notably, ergonomic chairs were installed to reduce strain on the back and pelvis during long classes. The desks were made from eco-friendly materials and aluminum using advanced die-casting techniques.
This initiative is part of Hanssem's main social contribution project, the 'Space Improvement Project.' The company has named this effort 'Brilliant Hanssem,' reflecting its hope for beneficiaries to lead brighter lives, with a focus on improving spaces for women and vulnerable groups.
A Hanssem representative stated, "The improvement of Mugunghwa School marks the 1,082nd achievement of our space improvement social contribution project and is particularly meaningful as it is our first support for a lifelong learning facility. We are pleased to provide a comfortable environment for seniors continuing their education at a later age, and we will continue to spread warmth in society through our space initiatives."
