Freedom Speakers International (Natalia)

Ever since I was 14 years old, my heart has been moved by the stories of the North Korean people. For my upcoming birthday, I am raising funds to support an organization (FSI) that empowers North Korean refugees to find their own voice and path through education, advocacy, and support. Every contribution, no matter how small, can help bring safety, dignity, and a future to people who need it most.

Thanks to a generous South Korean donor, Freedom Speakers International is running a Matching Challenge to empower North Korean refugees.

From June 22 to August 3, forty supporters of FSI set up donations in response. The donor has pledged to donate $100 for every fundraiser set up — up to 40 fundraisers total. Additionally, an American donor has secretly donated $20 to each fundraiser.

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Many are now giving speeches around the world, writing books, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

Our Korean donor has pledged to continue this Matching Challenge. He is inspired by the people who support FSI.

By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you’re helping them continue that journey.
Even if you don’t raise any money, just setting one up helps us unlock more support.

Set up your fundraiser. Show your support.
Together, we can amplify voices that were once silenced.
