Fundraiser for FSI (Kate Ro)

Hello, my name is Kate Ro, and I am the leader of Freedom Speakers International (FSI) at Chadwick International School. FSI is an organization dedicated to empowering North Korean refugees by teaching them English and helping them prepare speeches about their personal experiences and stories. By sharing their voices in English, these refugees can raise awareness, inspire others, and advocate for freedom and human rights.

Your support will help a lot by giving more opportunities for individuals to speak confidently. Together, we can amplify their voices and support their journey toward hope and freedom.

Please join us in making a difference. Every contribution counts!

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

The Matching Donor has pledged $42,000 to FSI or $3,500 per month. The sooner we can hit the goal, the sooner we can get the money.

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Participants build English skills, develop confidence on stage, and learn how to present their own experiences with accuracy and dignity. Many now speak at universities, conferences, and public forums around the world. Some are publishing books, contributing to media discussions, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

This Matching Challenge allows every fundraiser created and every contribution made to have a greater impact. By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you help unlock additional matching funds that directly support mentoring, training sessions, speech preparation, and public events.

How can you join this?

* Become a monthly donor of any amount. 

* If you are already a monthly donor, you may switch your monthly donation to this fundraiser.

* Set up a fundraiser in support of this project.

Even if your fundraiser does not raise money, creating one still matters. Each new fundraiser increases visibility, expands our reach, and helps us unlock more support through the matching challenge.
