ONE PERCENT LOVE SHARE
WHAT IS THE 1% LOVE SHARE PROGRAM?
The 1% Love Share Program is a unique campaign initiated by Women’s Federation for World Peace to eradicate poverty through donating $1 per month ($12 per year) to those less fortunate across the globe, especially women and children.
Why is this project unique? Simply put, because it targets the needs of the human family. As members of the human family, it is up to us to look across boundaries and borders and to send our love to those suffering, hungry, and in need.
WHO DOES THE 1% LOVE SHARE PROGRAM SUPPORT?
The project began in 2002 with the donation of 30,000 pairs of underwear to children in North Korea through the Korean Women Leader’s Association. Since 2002, WFWP International has sent out a total of $334,549* in the form of emergency food aid, primary school construction, medical supplies, clothing, and much more.
In recent years, this fund has supported:
Haiti with $4,214* to earthquake damaged areas. (2010)
North Korean women with $55,168* for sewing machines through the Coalition for the North Korean Women’s Rights. (2010)
