THE 1% LOVE SHARE PROJECT
Your generous support enables us to provide women and families the opportunities they need to thrive.
The 1% Love Share Project is a campaign initiated by Women's Federation for World Peace International to help eradicate poverty, by collecting donations that amount to just 1% of a donor’s paycheck. With the donations, WFWPI seeks to help those less fortunate around the globe, especially women and children. As members of the global family, it is up to us to look past boundaries and borders, to send love to those suffering, hungry or in need.
The 1% Love Share Project began in 2002 with a donation of 30,000 pairs of undergarments to children in North Korea through the Korean Women Leader's Association. More recently, WFWPI has shifted its focus to helping North Korean defectors in South Korea resettle in their new environments through after-school programs that help enrich their minds and heart. The small offering you give will help children around the world continue their education, develop character skills and build the life they desire.
Your generous support will fund the following projects:
- Kuen Kkum Sarang (큰 꿈 사랑) was established in 2020 and its main purpose is to provide education that fosters successful settlement of North Korean defectors in South Korean society. They help provide a smooth transition for these children into stable school life through quality education and character development.
- KumKang School (금강학교) was established in 2013 to facilitate the ability for children who were born in North Korea and other developing countries to access quality education. In addition to general tutoring, they offer tutoring in Hangeul (Korean language) especially for North Korean children born in other countries.
- NK Human Rights International Association (북한인권국제연대 ) which helps North Korean defectors who are escaping via third countries. This is even more critical than before, as COVID-19 severely impacted the ability of many to flee.
The goals of WFWP in supporting these projects are:
- Improve the quality of education for North Korean children.
- Provide opportunities for stable school life and self-reliance.
- Emphasize the importance of positive character development and character education.
- Create a culture of love that uniquely impacts every child.
- The 1% Love Share Project also actively supports the construction and operation of schools in Rwanda, Mozambique, Nepal, Haiti, as well as a library for Cambodia.
- In addition, WFWPI is always ready to give when emergency strikes and our most recent activity is sending masks and sanitary goods to Korea, Japan and Bolivia.
