Our Work

Programs overview

We partner with three children’s homes in Korea to provide meaningful programs, educational support, and memorable experiences. With thoughtful planning and collaboration with our Board and partners, we address the evolving needs of the children to create lasting impact.

GEM Program

The Girls’ Empowerment and Mentorship (GEM) Program bridges opportunity gaps for elementary to high school girls, building confidence, life skills, and career exploration to help them thrive.

Holiday Parties

Since 2007, KKOOM has made the holidays brighter by hosting Christmas celebrations filled with gifts, meals, and joyful memories for the children we support. Over 1,650 lives have been impacted through your gifts. 

Events and Camps

From camping trips to soccer or art camps, and amusement park visits, KKOOM creates fun and enriching experiences that children look forward to year-round.

Scholarships

KKOOM provides tutoring, educational experiences, and college scholarships in Korea and the U.S., empowering youth to build brighter futures.

Welcome Boost

Many children arrive at KKOOM-supported homes with little to nothing. Our $150 Welcome Boost Fund provides a fresh start through immediate essentials like clothing and toiletries to help them settle in.
