Enabling Freedom

Lack of qualifications, language and job skills, lack of confidence, and mental health problems are all factors that contribute to escaped North Korean people becoming trapped in low-paid work, where the possibility of finding fees, or time, to study, to improve their situation, is slim or non-existent.

This means many North Korean people manage to escape a life of oppression in North Korea, only to find themselves achieving far below their potential in life and remaining trapped in a cycle of subsistence.

The Enabling Freedom programme provides escaped North Korean people with the holistic educational, well-being, and financial support, they need to gain recognised vocational and professional qualifications, work towards their dreams and potential, and choose the lives they want to live.
