Sometimes people say that

“the necessities of life - food, clothing and shelter are enough to survive.”
But it’s not always true for children.
Children need attention, love, and respect on top of other needs.
ChildFund Korea addresses the four categories of child rights (survival, protection, development, and
participation) set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, so that children in Korea can grow up in
a healthy and safe environment. We want to keep their dreams alive.

Domestic projects based on the Four Categories of Child Rights

Education

To protect children’s right to be educated, we provide basic education opportunities, necessary support for education such as textbook, teaching materials, educational expenses and school uniforms.

Housing

To ensure every child grows up and lives in proper environment, we support those children living in poorer households.

Living Expenses

For those who live under the basic living, we provide the needy items like diapers, baby formula, and groceries for children.

Medical Support

Children in need for medical treatment and hospital care, we support accordingly for surgery, prescription, medicine, and treatment expenses.

We provide day-care service and support for migrants and immigrants families and children to ensure their rights to be included in social service and basic/standard living in Korean society.
