Welcome Boost

When new children arrive at a KKOOM-supported children’s home, they usually have just the clothes on their backs. That is why we provide a $150 Welcome Boost Fund to their house mother to buy new clothing and basic necessities for the children. Since April 2016, we have provided over 16 Welcome Boost Funds for newly arrived Korean children.
