- A Historical Perspective of the International Foundation for Ewha Womans University
River of Faith is an inspiring case study revealing how the internationally recognized Ewha Womans University emerged as Christians, mostly women, in Korea and North America partnered over generations to uplift the status of women in society through education. This historical perspective of the International Foundation for Ewha Womans University (IFEWU) reveals the importance of long-term institution building and global-scale education movements. River of Faith is a metaphor for a stream of compassion that flows to and through Ewha Womans University. Integral to the River of Faith story was the broad-based "Woman's Work for Woman" movement by Methodist women in North America begun in the late 19th century that fueled the creation of Ewha. Equally significant is Ewha's recent establishment and support of programs that advance its status "from the receiving university to a giving university" by opening its gates to underserved women students from developing countries.
