Support Guryong Village: South Korea's Poorest Community
Donation protected
Guryong Village in Seoul, South Korea, is one of the most marginalized communities in the country. Located in the shadow of Gangnam's high-rises, its residents live in makeshift homes vulnerable to fire, flooding, and harsh weather. Many are elderly individuals surviving on minimal pensions, with little access to healthcare or stable services.
We are launching this GoFundMe campaign with an initial goal of £5,000 to assist families in Guryong Village as they transition to safer housing. While the South Korean government has pledged support for relocation, not all residents have access to sufficient resources to make this move successfully.
Your contribution will:
- Provide immediate assistance for essentials like furniture, appliances, and basic supplies for families moving into new housing.
- Fund transportation and logistical support for those relocating to government-subsidized apartments.
- Raise awareness about the ongoing needs of Guryong Village residents to inspire broader action and additional support.
While £5,000 is our initial target to make an impact, greater awareness and contributions could significantly amplify our ability to assist more residents. Every donation: large or small, brings us closer to providing safer, more stable living conditions for these families.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can help ensure a brighter, more secure future for the people of Guryong Village.
Donate now to help us reach our goal and beyond.
