Family of four donate at least 400 million won, becoming first members of World Vision’s ‘Bob Pierce Family Club’

[Financial News] The family of Hangil Precision CEO Moon Sung-bong and his wife, Yoon Soo-kyung, along with their two children, have become the first members of World Vision’s family donor group. The family of four has donated a total of at least 400 million won to World Vision.
World Vision said on the 9th that the inaugural induction ceremony for the Bob Pierce Family Club was held on the 6th at its headquarters in Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul. Moon and his wife, along with their daughter, Moon Eun-bin, and son, Moon Hyun-kwon, received their appointment plaques.
The Bob Pierce Family Club expands the Bob Pierce Honor Club, a group for individual major donors named after World Vision founder Bob Pierce, to include families. Individuals who have donated at least 100 million won or pledged to contribute that amount may join the Honor Club.
Each of the four family members has donated at least 100 million won cumulatively. Moon was the first to join the Honor Club, in 2021, and his two children followed suit in 2024. Yoon has supported World Vision since 1999. Recently, she donated 80 million won in the name of her father, who passed away 20 years ago. With this donation, her cumulative contributions exceeded 100 million won, and she joined the club this month.
The family contributed to improving educational conditions in Biringiro, Rwanda, and building Purba Nandapur Middle School in Bangladesh. They also supported projects to improve access to drinking water and sanitation in Tanzania and increase local residents’ incomes. Donations were also used to help children in Korea.
The couple serve as members of CLC, World Vision’s donor group, where they discuss major projects and the organization’s future direction. Their two children take part in project funding and related activities through YLC, the next-generation donor group.
The two groups are committees for Finish the Job, a campaign World Vision is running from 2023 to 2028 to address social problems in Korea and abroad. CLC has regional committees that work on campaign initiatives, while YLC helps villages in Africa achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Yoon said, “Having been with World Vision for a long time, I have felt that sharing can bring real hope to someone’s life,” adding, “I hope sharing will continue as a cherished part of our family’s culture and pass on a positive influence to the next generation.”
World Vision plans to begin operating a family-based major donor group in earnest with this induction. World Vision Chairman Myung-Hwan Cho said, “I hope the launch of the Bob Pierce Family Club will help establish giving as not only an individual act of kindness but also a family value and a beautiful legacy passed on to the next generation.”
