Export-Import Bank of Korea (Eximbank) donated cars to charity organizations dedicated to supporting multicultural families in Korea, the state-run bank announced on Thursday.

The lender said it donated a total of 12 cars, one each to charity organizations for migrant wives, their children and other members of multicultural families across the country.

Community Chest of Korea, a Seoul-based non-profit organization, cooperated with Eximbank to choose the charity organizations that need cars.

The donation was made in line with Eximbank's campaign since 2011 to improve the well-being of multicultural families. It has donated cars worth 2.2 billion won ($1.67 million) to more than 100 charity organizations nationwide.

"Eximbank's campaign hopefully can help multicultural families to successfully settle in Korea," Eximbank Chairman and President Yoon Hee-sung said during a ceremony to mark the donation at the bank's headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, Wednesday.

He added, "We as a state-run bank will strive to fulfill our social responsibility through charity campaigns."
