"Woori Wonder Family" is an independence support program for youth single parents. The Woori Financial Future Foundation is running the program to help youth single parents, who may be exposed to economic hardship and social isolation, establish themselves securely in society.
Support began in 2023 with a focus on living expenses, and this year the scope was expanded to include medical expenses, scholarships, employment congratulatory grants, and encouragement payments. The aim is to go beyond simple livelihood support, ease sudden medical-cost burdens, and help with independence challenges such as school and employment to build a practical foundation for self-reliance.
Among the recipients, there was also a case of successful college admission despite raising a young child while studying. This recipient said she achieved college admission thanks to monthly living-expense support and encouragement, and that she resolved to become a mother her child would not be ashamed of.
Lee Jong-ryong, chairman of the Woori Financial Future Foundation, said he was deeply moved by the courage and determination of those who achieved college admission and employment results without giving up despite the difficult circumstances of child-rearing and school. He added that he hopes these success stories will become a source of hope for youth single parents who hesitate to take on new challenges.
