Postmen to deliver essential goods to help close welfare blind spots

Korea’s Postal Service and the Health and Welfare Ministry agreed on Oct. 29 to launch “Just Dream Delivered by Postmen,” under which postmen will deliver food and daily necessities to selected vulnerable households and check on their wellbeing. The programme supports people struggling to make a living with 20,000 won worth of goods per person, without separate proof or complex applications, but some have faced access limits. A pilot will start in 10 districts.
