Saejowi’s “Leaders of Unification” education program trains the North Korean defectors of today to be the leaders for unification of tomorrow. Participants in this program meet weekly to receive education regarding the differences in lifestyle between North Korean and South Korean societies. After the lecture or presentation, participants hold a discussion to share their thoughts freely with others students in this program on what needs to happen before the two Koreas can effectively reunify. Participants often share their insights on what South Korea could improve on, to better accommodate the needs of the North Korean defectors.

​

Saejowi’s “Domestic Violence Prevention and Awareness” program mainly targets female North Korean defectors who are sexually and physically abused in household settings by their husbands. Most of the defectors who come to South Korea arrive through China, where they are frequently taken advantage of by Chinese husbands and brokers. In order to prevent further abuse, participants in this program are made aware of the numerous sexual and physical domestic abuse cases defectors face when escaping, and are invited to share their stories among other women who have been through the same hardships. Participants are able to overcome their trauma and develop a healing network with other victims.

​

Saejowi’s “The Fruit of Love” program selects 10 North Korean students, twice a year, currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs in South Korea and awards each student a scholarship based on their academic achievement. In total, $20,000 is given to twenty high-performing students each year. This program is sponsored by the Community Chest of Korea.
