AJU Happy Global Village
AJU Happy Global Village is a global social contribution activity that supports children and young people in countries with poor educational environments, so that they can dream and open a happier future. Each year, AJU's volunteer tem, consisting of more than 20 executives and employees each year, supports activities to improve the educational environment of children and youth in Southeast Asia. In particular, in cooperation with the Vietnamese and Cambodian governments, we are delivering dreams and hopes to children through various activities such as renovation of school facilities, opening of libraries, planting fruit trees, digging wells, and painting old exterior walls.

Cheongnam Park
Originating in Jungnang District in Seoul, AJU donated the land around Gureungsan in Sinnae-dong on two occasions in 2013 and 2015 for regional development and 1 billion won in 2016 for the park construction fund. The park was named after the penname of the founder Tae Shik Moon (Cheongnam), and the place with the lack of proper hiking trails but with illegal facilities was rebuilt as “children’s space for nature experience” and “resting and healing space for the residents.”
