The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation conducted the "Hopeful Youth Sports Activity Support Project."

The "Hopeful Youth Sports Activity Support Project," which has been underway since 2018, was established to instill the positive values of sports by providing a sports environment tailored to the characteristics and circumstances of youth who have relatively limited opportunities to participate in sports activities.

This year, through the non-profit corporation "(Inc.) We Meet Up," composed of female retired athletes, the foundation supported sports activities that considered the specific characteristics of each group, including soccer classes, for "Hanbit School for the Blind (visually impaired)," "Seoul Samsung School (hearing impaired)," "Hamkke Harang Social Cooperative (slow learners)," and "The Hankyoreh Middle and High Schools (North Korean defectors)."

An official from Seoul Samsung School said, "Providing uniforms to the children seems to have been an opportunity to foster a sense of belonging and pride."

An official from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, who spoke with this outlet over the phone, stated, "Through this project, we conveyed that sports can contribute not only to health promotion but also to emotional stability and the formation of social relationships. We plan to continue our efforts to create an environment where everyone can enjoy the pleasures of sports."
