Helen Kim Scholarship
 |
| The Helen Kim Scholar for the Irish Unit of World Federation is Rachel Fallows, pictured above, who will hold that position for 5 years. |
World Federation has had an emphasis on the welfare of the "Girl Child" for many years, and has become one of World Federation's major justice issues.
The commitment to the welfare of girl children and young women has found new expression with the introduction of the Helen Kim Memorial Scholarship, which will offer Leadership Development Training for Young Women.
This program is named in honor of Helen Kim, a young Korean woman who had a noble, Christ-inspired vision of a world sisterhood. She dreamt of a time when women would work together "to promote peace and better conditions in the whole world." It is also to inspire young women with visions of a world where there is hope for the hopeless; security for the insecure; sufficient for the impoverished; freedom for the oppressed; and a voice for the voiceless.
Criteria for participation in this Scholarship:
Two young women from each of the World Federation Areas will be given opportunity to attend the World Federation World Assembly.This will be preceded by a Leadership Development Training where they will:
- acquire skills from an expert in this field
- participate in community building amongst young women from all Areas;
- build relationships with members of the Executive Committee and World Federation's
