Daewoo Engineering & Construction (CEO Baek Jeong-wan) announced on the 23rd that on the 19th, together with Habitat Korea, it carried out an activity to renovate old houses of descendants of independence fighters living in poor living conditions.

Daewoo Engineering & Construction completed a donation of 200 million won to Habitat for Humanity this year and completed the renovation of a total of 7 households of old homes for descendants of independence activists.

Daewoo Engineering & Construction executives and employees carried out exterior painting work at Seo Soon-hee's old house located in Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do. Habitat for Humanity supported overall remodeling work, including interior insulation, windows, and flooring. Seo Soon-hee's maternal grandfather, the late Sim Hong-taek, a contributor to independence, participated in the Gwangju Student Uprising and led the closure of allied schools, but was arrested and imprisoned for anti-Japanese struggle and violation of the National Security Act. He was posthumously awarded the National Foundation Award in 2002 in honor of his contributions. .

An official from Daewoo Engineering & Construction said, 'I am thrilled to have completed the renovation of all 7 houses planned for 2023, with this generation being the last. We have been working steadily for 3 years since 2021, and as we successfully completed the project this year, we will continue to work in Korea.' 'We will work with Habitat for Humanity to do our best to improve the residential environment of descendants of independence fighters,' he said.

Meanwhile, Daewoo Engineering & Construction has been carrying out the 'Repair the House of Hope' campaign since 2001 and has been carrying out facility repair work for families suffering from aging houses. Since 2018, we have expanded the scale of our activities in collaboration with Habitat Korea and are participating in various social contribution activities, such as developing a project to improve the residential environment for the underprivileged in cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
