WHO WE ARE
OUR VISION
Women working together to realize one global family rooted in a culture of sustainable peace.
OUR MISSION
Empowering women, as peacebuilders and leaders in the family to transform the community, nation and world.
OUR SOLUTION
Through education, advocacy, partnership, reconciliation and humanitarian service, WFWPI aims to create an environment of peace and wellbeing for future generations and people of all races, cultures and religious creeds.
WFWPI was founded in 1992 in the Republic of Korea and quickly expanded to over 100 countries. Only five years later, WFWPI was granted General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
In 1994, WFWP Japan sent volunteers to Africa to set up humanitarian projects. They established schools, vocational training programs, and other educational support, including scholarships for students in need. Hygiene and nutrition education is provided all over the continent. This became the foundation for women leaders to create their local chapters and develop activities according to their country's unique needs.
WHAT WE DO
LIVING BY THE LOGIC OF LOVE.
Education and Leadership
Women Empowerment Programs
WFWP is dedicated to giving women "the knowledge, the tools and the support needed to create peace at home, peace in our communities, our nations and throughout the world". Through WFWP education programmes like seminars, forums, workshops, and skills training and by engaging and uplifting young women, the WFWP directs its activities toward furthering the understanding of human rights issues, including women's rights and value perspectives. WFWP also advocates and campaigns for the dignity of women, as well as sponsor and facilitate parenting and relationship skills programs in partnership with affiliated organisations. We consider the status of the family as crucial for the well-being and cohesion of any society or nation. Therefore, we promote and support initiatives toward reviving true family values and the empowerment of women to fulfill their central roles in the family and community.
Mother's Heart Peace Network
We aim to educate and empower women to take an active role in their communities so that they can become global leaders and contribute to creating a society where women can play key roles in building a culture of peace.
GLOBAL WOMEN PEACE NETWORK
The Global Women's Peace Network's (GWPN) aim is to build a body of NGO leaders whose collective wisdom and judgment can complement the deliberations of the United Nations, which is a body of government representatives and is overwhelmingly male. Such a consultative body could promote healing and peace-building through reconciliation, forgiveness, love and embracing people beyond boundaries of race, religion, nationality, and language.
YOUTH
WFWP engages in assisting projects which promote the development of today's youth enabling their participation as active citizens and we particularly work to involve young men and women and uplift them and their role in society.
Peace and Reconciliation
PRAYER FOR PEACE
Virtual Regional Prayer for Peace and educational program. The Prayer for Peace program is a powerful way to bring people together and foster a sense of unity and common purpose. It emphasizes the transformative potential of prayer, meditation, and collective intention in creating a more peaceful world.
BRIDGE OF PEACE
The physical and emotional pain of war, crime and bigotry is, and has been, inflicted on so many throughout human history. The violence that results from intolerance and rage acted-out is demeaning and destructive to both victim and perpetrator. Victims of their loved ones often become perpetrators as they exact revenge, only creating a vicious cycle of more conflict and resentment. Through the ‘Bridge of Peace’ ceremony WFWP emphasises finding solutions by taking responsibility for ourselves and making sincere effort to care for one another. By taking this approach to conflict resolution, we draw out the best in one another, enabling and strengthening each person in remarkable ways.
Humanitarian and Service
Service projects
The WFWP believes that women are the guardians of the family, the cornerstone of every healthy society, and therefore are an essential part of leadership in the peace building processes of our time, contributing with the skills of mothers, nurturers and educators. The WFWP perspective is that the root of conflict is not economic, political or due to a lack of knowledge. By defining the causes in terms of a profound rift at the individual level of each person it also outlines a possible solution. Therefore, the WFWP take part in a number of peace-building initiatives including inter-faith and
Feeding Scheme
The Feeding Scheme project aims to have a lasting impact on the health and well-being of undernourished children. By addressing immediate hunger and promoting nutrition education, the project strives to improve children's physical and cognitive development, academic performance, and overall quality of life. The project relies on a combination of funding sources, including grants from philanthropic organizations, corporate sponsorships, individual donations, and government support. Fundraising events and awareness campaigns are organized to secure ongoing financial resources.
Literacy Project
The goal of Literacy is to empower individuals through improved literacy skills, enabling them to participate more fully in society, expand their opportunities, and enhance their overall quality of life.

The Leadership Youth Workshop is a Youth empowerment program. The main objective is for building a brighter future. It is to equip young people with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to succeed, while also driving positive change in communities and society at large.
Climate change negatively impacts the health and well-being of families through increased pollution, while extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change, such as hurricanes, droughts and floods, often lead to forced displacement and loss of livelihoods for families and individuals. Such events impact agricultural productivity and access to water, intensifying hunger and vulnerability. They cause economic disruption in industries sensitive to climate impacts such as agriculture and fisheries. Without drastic action, adaptation to and mitigation of the impacts of climate change will become increasingly difficult and costly. Empowering families through education, changing consumption habits, and advocacy is critical for meaningful and effective climate action. Families pass values across generations, so instilling sustainable habits and climate awareness in families from an early age is important. Integrating circular economy principles into early childhood education can help build a sustainable economic model based on minimizing waste and regenerating natural resources. Families as consumers and advocates can drive the transition to a circular economy.
