KEBE Supports the Documentary "+1" for World Down Syndrome Day

In honor of World Down Syndrome Day, KEBE actively enhances its corporate social responsibility by supporting the documentary “+1”.

A single extra chromosome is enough for individuals to be born with unique sensitivities, showcasing the strength and greatness of their spirit. KEBE stands by their side with respect, illuminating the true beauty of diversity.

As a proud sponsor of the documentary, we recognize the courage and unique daily contributions of these heroes. “+1” taught us how an “excess” can lead to “deficiencies” and how a “deficiency” can fill life with virtues.

Through this participation, we support a better and more inclusive future for all.
