UIWANG R&D Center, June 22, 2021 - HYUNDAI WIA staff members donated automobiles to social welfare institutions in need of improved mobility.

HYUNDAI WIA donated 'Dream Car' to four different welfare agencies. Local institutes in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Changwon-si, Uiwang-si, and Seosan-si were gifted new automobiles. The cumulative number of donated vehicles has reached 124 since HYUNDAI WIA conducted the annual donation of 'Dream Car' in 2013.

HYUNDAI WIA employees volunteered to donate 1% of their monthly wages to raise funds for those in need. KRW 135 million was raised for the automobile purchase through the employee fundraising program 'the Miracle of 1%'. Monthly CSR program run with the support of the staff members, the company is continuing to help domestic and foreign communities.

The automobiles were given to local community centers undergoing hardships to conduct welfare activities due to limited mobility. For instance, the 'Si On Vocational Traning Center', a vocational rehabilitation facility for people with special needs located in Gwangju Metropolitan City, confronted challenges to pick up over 30 people with a single car. 'Seosan Welfare Center for the Elderly' also experienced inconvenience when taking more than 50 people back and forth to the hospital.
