Our lives have become more enriched as our values and expectations for a decent life have improved. But there is still room for improvement when it comes to the lives and the rights of those with disabilities or those on the social margins. Not only are policy measures addressing these issues lacking, but our awareness of the issues have a long way to go. As such, Paradise Welfare Foundation seeks to become the driving force in designing a more affluent future where everyone, be it those with disabilities or those without, can enjoy the benefits.

Striding side by side with those who are physically or mentally challenged and living together in harmony with them is a task that we, as members of society, have an obligation to take on. In order to become an advanced nation in its truest sense, progress should be made not just in economic terms, but in cultural aspects through consideration for such people. Paradise Welfare Foundation does not distinguish between those with disabilities and those without when it comes to the rights to enjoy an affluent future. We believe in a culture where everyone can live in harmony. As Korea’s unique and specialized foundation that caters to the needs of those with disabilities, Paradise Welfare Foundation has been carrying out unique projects to improve the quality of life of the physically or mentally challenged, and create a better future for them.

The projects to offer those with disabilities more opportunities to enjoy arts and culture in recent years have been one of our most representative efforts in creating content and programs where art and culture can be enjoyed by all. Paradise Welfare Foundation pledges to not only redouble its efforts in implementing creative and future-oriented projects that are in line with the paradigm shift taking place in welfare initiatives, but also to live up to its role as a leader in special education and arts & cultural programs for those with disabilities.

I heartly invite you to join us in our journey towards a better future, where everyone has a chance to enjoy happiness that our brighter future has to offer. Thank you.
