About Us
Alongside refugees, preparing for reunification
Mission Statement
A world where no one suffers from disaster, and a life given to loving people.
Together International began in 2015 to help people suffering from disaster. We stand with those who suffer disaster and oppression, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion or ideology.
We carry new hope to the land of North Korea for the sake of reconciliation and cooperation between South and North, and work to build self-reliance and capacity among its people. To that end we join with civil society organisations at home and abroad, and pursue the good together.
Our Purpose
01
Relief work that comforts and supplies refugees and disaster survivors at home and abroad — after war, flood, earthquake and wildfire.
02
Certifying and developing members who want to join refugee relief and reunification work, through IDRN disaster-response and CDP community-development training.
03
Preparation and action for rescue, relief, recovery and reconstruction in the event of reunification or a disaster in North Korea.
04
Stable resettlement support for North Korean defectors, with education and cultural activities.
05
A network that partners and allies with related agencies and international bodies at home and abroad.
06
Other development projects, in Korea and overseas, that serve the association's reunification-preparedness mission.
