Poverty in Korea may be largely different from
that of African, South American or South East Asian countries. However,
the poor still exist in Korea due to internal income disparity. More
than 2 million people are confronted with hard living in the country.
KVO wants to share our neighbor's suffering and help them become independent
by supporting welfare policies and facilities. We do this by forming
relationships with boys and girls who have become heads of their family,
children of single parent families, and homeless elderly people.
Welfare Facility Support and Family-Establishing
| KVO supports protective facilities which help homeless elderly
and children of single-parent families in collaboration with
our regional office in Korea. Korean members have also formed
an overseas relationship with orphans, boys and girls who have
become heads of their families and homeless seniors living in
the third world. By forming a relationship, they are encouraging
them to live on without losing their dreams or courage. |

The Planet is suffering from large-scale environmental
pollution. Excessive use of fossil fuels has caused acid rain and
greenhouse effect. Excessive use of CFC gas is destroying the ozone
layer. Haphazard felling, burning land, grazing, road and dam construction
are the main causes of destruction of the tropical forest. These activities
also damage the ecology, acidify the soil, and cause radioactive contamination.
KVO has been fighting to protect unique fundamental of living, and
worth. In cooperation with NGOs, we are carrying out field research
and campaign activities, and also assisting in environment awareness
education and recycling campaigns.
Environmental Field Education
| We have developed an environmental education program for
social groups and students from elementary to high school. Its
purpose is to inform them of the importance of protecting the
environment, and promote environmental awareness. We have executed
annual environmental field education 3 times a month for 2,000
people. |
Recycling Campaign
| The Recycling Campaign has been conducted since 1991. Waste
paper, newspaper, milk cartons, and daily commodities are collected
and recycled. The recycled goods are then exchanged or sold.
We have also collected a quantity of used batteries, a major
pollutant of soil, by setting up collection boxes for them at
hospitals, drug-stores and photo studios. |
