IWD #Give to Gain - Korea Fund

Muui

Muui (무의) is a South Korea–based nonprofit organization founded in 2015 with the mission of creating a world where disability becomes “meaningless” — meaning it does not define or limit a person. This concept comes from the Sino‑Korean word “무의,” which means “without meaning.” Muui was founded by Hong Yunhui (홍윤희), a mother whose daughter uses a wheelchair.
Her personal experience navigating the Seoul metro with her daughter — encountering missing elevators, inaccessible stations, and confusing signage — inspired her to start Muui.

By supporting MUUI, ASML employees help:
✨ Expand access to mobility resources for women and families living with disabilities
✨ Promote inclusive design across Korean public spaces
✨ Strengthen the voice of women advocating for equity in their communities
✨ Build a future where independence and dignity are universal rights

장애인아트센터 / Ableart Center

Ableart (http://ableart.or.kr/) is a nonprofit cultural‑arts organization based in Suwon, South Korea, and the country’s first dedicated arts center for artists with disabilities. Their mission is to strengthen the cultural rights of people with disabilities by providing professional art education, creative studios, performance opportunities, and a supportive community where artists can express their individuality with dignity and imagination.
Past participation at ASML events has been warmly received—colleagues consistently shared positive feedback about the organization’s inspiring artwork, the professionalism of the artists, and the authenticity and joy they brought to the event atmosphere.
Why it fits IWD26:
Ableart aligns beautifully with IWD26 by championing inclusion, creative empowerment, and equal opportunities. Their work breaks barriers in the arts and amplifies voices that are often overlooked, echoing the core IWD themes of equity, visibility, and human dignity.
