Humanitarian Aid Projects: Korea

According to the President of Holt International, our overseas partner, over 10,000 children are abandoned each year. Unfortunately, only 1,600 of these children are able to find families. In particular, orphans with disabilities are often those not chosen by families.

Support Humanitarian Aid Projects

WHFC continues to work with existing partners, in addition to sending agency representatives to Korea in order to identify new projects in desperate need of our funding. With your help, WHFC can continue to respond to the urgent needs of children in Korea.

Below are a few examples of what your support has made possible in recent years:
