Rapid national growth in Korea created many hidden blind spots. Among them, support for children who had lost their parents was extremely limited. In the late 1980s, teenage heads of household could not legally care for younger siblings as a family, and faced practical challenges such as housing costs and dropping out of school.
To address these issues, Daewoo Foundation built Daewoo Dream Village in Cheongju city in 1992, providing 91 housing units. Families such as child-headed households, grandparent-led households, and multicultural single-parent households moved in. Through its Social Welfare Services, a on-site social worker provided structured support, from building savings for independence to career planning, helping families achieve stable self-reliance.
As the effectiveness of this child and youth independence model became recognized, the Foundation took on additional responsibilities for major welfare facilities in the Chungcheong region, including Bongmyeong Community Child Center in 2004 and Osong Community Welfare Center in 2021.
