Citibank Korea Held ‘Citi Building Hope and Homes’ Event in Inje City
Citibank Korea Inc. was the first company to partner with Habitat for Humanity Korea in 1998 and more than 700 Citibank Korea Inc. employees have volunteered their time to provide 19 families with homes in Gwangyang, Samcheok, Daegu, Gunsan, Taeback, Chuncheon, Daejeon, etc. For this year’s ‘Citi Building Hope and Homes’ event, 100 employees of the bank and their families will join the construction work volunteer with local residents to build 2 houses.
"I’m very proud that Citi’s housing build celebrates the 13th anniversary this year. Participating in the Habitat for Humanity movement means a great deal to me as well as employees of Citibank Korea Inc. and their families in the sense that we are volunteering on-site, experiencing the true spirit of caring and giving,” said CEO Yung-Ku Ha, also known as a housing build mania among Citibank Korea employees for his ardent support and continued participation in the program.
Chang Sik Lee, Chairman of Habitat for Humanity Korea emphasized, “Citi has been the partner for ‘Life changing Habitat for Humanity program‘ globally for a long time. I am especially thankful for Citi’s effort to encourage employees and their families to participate and take an active role in the volunteering in our program regardless of the turbulent economic situation and the hot weather this year.”
