You have just saved another life

Your donations do make a difference

Your support has enabled us to save a 27-year-old North Korean refugee.  On February 23, LFNKR successfully completed the rescue mission to bring Mr. Y.Y. out of China to a safe place.

It has been your generous support and donations that made it possible for him to even dream of freedom.

Five more remaining people still await their chance for rescue.  We are thankful for your concern for these people living at risk.  If you would like to donate to help these five to reach safety, please click through to our donation page.

With sincere thanks,

Hiroshi Kato, Director of LFNKR

Crowd Funding

New — Crowd Funding Initiative
Exciting Donation and Financing Technology


GOAL:
Help One More North Korean Refugee Reach Safety

Everybody’s familiar with how fast Internet technology advances. Way, way back in 2003, when we instituted a new way for you to donate (via PayPal), it was still a fairly new idea. But time rolls quickly onward.

And now, there’s a new option we think you might appreciate. It’s called “Crowd Funding” and it’s an easy way to make donations to help support the rescue of North Korean refugees. Find out more about crowd funding here.

Summer Clothes Are Survival Gear

The Right Clothes Make a Person Invisible

For North Korean refugees hiding in China, the wrong clothes can mean arrest, repatriation and hard prison time. That is why their aim is to blend in, look like the Chinese locals, and escape notice. When warmer weather comes, if they are seen still wearing winter clothing, the Chinese police notice it immediately. Being noticed by the police automatically means arrest for them, followed quickly by forcible return to North Korea where harsh punishment awaits them.
