Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, announced on the 11th that with the implementation of basic income in rural and fishing villages, a culture of warm sharing and care led by residents is spreading beyond revitalizing consumption in the region.

In Jeonggeo Village, Idong-myeon, neighborhood care activities are being actively carried out centering on 'Market Treasure Elementary', an alternative store run by residents in connection with basic income.

The Jeonggeo Village Women's Association, in cooperation with Market Treasure Elementary School, is carrying out regular care activities for the elderly through a project called 'Goodbye today, treasure'.

Women’s club members deliver side dishes and fruits to the elderly three to four times a month and check on their well-being. From July to October, food was distributed to about 80 people.

The county plans to expand these care activities, which began in Jeonggeo Village, to other villages in Idong-myeon.

County Governor Ryu Gyeong-wan said, “The value of basic income in rural and fishing villages can be found not only in the increase in local consumption, but also in changes in the village community.” He added, “We will support basic income so that it can blossom into warm care for neighbors.”
