About US
Anonymous Hope
Together, we can create hope!
Anonymous Hope is a non-profit organization established by young Koreans in response to the anti-immigration protests surrounding the arrival of Yemeni refugees seeking asylum in 2018. These events highlighted broader debates regarding Korean immigration policy, the value of refugees to Korean society, and evolving ideas of what it means to be Korean today. By supporting the educational, political, economic, and logistical needs of refugees from the Middle East in South Korea, Anonymous Hope works with Yemeni, Egyptian, and Afghan partner organizations to provide direct assistance to our friends in need while advocating for a more inclusive vision of Korean citizenship and society today.
Who are the members?
Our organization’s members are largely Korean citizens from diverse backgrounds, as well as students studying at Blair Academy. What unites us, however, is that we are young, passionate, and eager to spark a broader conversation about identity, race, and the politics of migration in South Korea.
Where are we located?
Chartered in Seoul and working closely with local non-profits such as Green Umbrella, Anonymous Hope holds collaborative online and in-person events to raise funds for and awareness of the growing communities of Middle Eastern descent in Korea.
What do we do?
Anonymous Hope empowers refugees while building direct bridges with local communities. By selling merchandise like eco-bags and mask straps, we have raised over $20,000 for medical and educational supplies, while our 20 active members teach essential language skills to young Middle Eastern refugees.
