Women's Federation For World Peace International

What Women's Federation For World Peace International does

Women's Federation for World Peace International (WFWPI) is a private, non-profit international NGO founded in 1992 by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon and the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon, headquartered at 481 8th Ave, New York, with UN relations offices in Geneva and Vienna and regional offices in Seoul and Johannesburg. The organization holds UN ECOSOC consultative status and operates national chapters in 128 countries, delivering programs in women's leadership, youth peacebuilding, family education, humanitarian aid, environmental sustainability through permaculture, and interfaith reconciliation. Paid staff headcount is 11–50, with the operating model overwhelmingly volunteer-driven — the Korea branch alone mobilized 1,800 volunteers for a single event.

Its service portfolio comprises Humanitarian Projects (solar lamp distribution, food baskets, Ukraine relief), Healing and Reconciliation programs centered on the Bridge of Peace ceremony (160,000 cumulative participants), Capacity Building (leadership training, vocational skills, NFT/digital-art courses, mobile libraries such as the Mmangwana Mobile Library), the Global Women's Peace Network, Educational Webinars with translation in up to nine languages, the Permaculture Education Program anchored by an Asia Pacific Peace Education Center in the Philippines, and UN Relations work through side events at the High-Level Political Forum, Commission on the Status of Women, and Human Rights Council. The International Association of First Ladies for Peace (IAFLP) and the International Association of Youth and Students for Peace (IAYSP) function as affiliated programmatic sub-brands.

Revenue is generated through donations, charitable events (for example, a Spain chapter bazaar and concert raised €3,150 for Ukraine relief), and the WFWPI Funding Project — an annual competitive mechanism that in 2023 disbursed grants to 11 of 30 chapter applicants across 30 countries. Distribution is executed through 128 national chapters, three UN offices, and digital channels including wfwp.org, Instagram, Facebook, and email newsletters; the organization does not sell commercial products or services and does not publicly disclose financial statements.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Mercy Corps: A large humanitarian and development NGO active in 40+ countries with multi-hundred-million-dollar budgets. Comparable in humanitarian-aid delivery and women's economic empowerment programming, but operates at materially larger scale and broader thematic scope than WFWPI.
• Amnesty International: A globally established human-rights organization with UN ECOSOC status and sections in many of the same countries WFWPI serves. Comparable in women's-rights advocacy and UN-side event participation, but operates at vastly larger scale and broader human-rights mandate.

Direct peers

• Religions for Peace: A multi-religious coalition with UN consultative status advancing interfaith peacebuilding. Comparable to WFWPI in combining faith-rooted values with multilateral advocacy and a global chapter network, and a co-participant in many of the same UN side events.
• UN Women: The United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. Directly comparable as both organizations advance the same Women, Peace and Security agenda at the UN, with WFWPI participating in HLPF and CSW processes alongside UN Women-led initiatives.
• Peace Direct: An NGO that supports local peacebuilders across multiple regions and partners with UN mechanisms. Directly comparable in approach to locally rooted, chapter-driven peacebuilding and in operating model of funding sub-grantees in fragile contexts.
• Search for Common Ground: A leading international conflict-resolution NGO operating programs in dozens of countries. Directly comparable in peacebuilding methodology, training of local leaders, and reconciliation programming analogous to WFWPI's Bridge of Peace initiative.
• International Association of Youth and Students for Peace (IAYSP): A youth-focused peace organization with which WFWPI co-hosted UN HLPF 2025 side events. Directly comparable as a peer movement organization sharing co-founder lineage and a common youth-leadership and SDG implementation mission.
• International Alert: A specialist peacebuilding NGO working on gender, peace and security with deep UN engagement. Closely comparable to WFWPI's Women, Peace and Security focus and UN-side event participation, including work on the WPS agenda in fragile states.
• Universal Peace Federation (UPF): A global peace network with which WFWPI already co-sponsors events and shares co-founder heritage. Comparable as a parallel international federation promoting peace, family values and UN engagement across chapters worldwide.
• Karuna Center for Peacebuilding: A peacebuilding organization running interfaith dialogue, trauma healing, and women's leadership training programs. Comparable to WFWPI's healing-and-reconciliation curriculum and 'Family as School of Love' peace-education methodology.
