All three Stray Kids members have a longstanding relationship with World Vision dating back to 2014, with each making notable contributions in 2024 to World Vision’s Global Food Crisis Response Project, underscoring a sustained philanthropic focus beyond the Nepal relief effort.
Stray Kids member Lee Know donated 100 million won (about USD 69,000) to World Vision on August 28 for Nepal flood relief, according to Korea Herald. The funds will support food, shelter, and clean water for victims of severe flooding that has killed at least 691 people and left roughly 3,000 missing across the Himalayan nation.
Two other Stray Kids members quickly followed suit. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that Reno and Rino each donated 100 million won to World Vision for the same relief efforts, bringing the group's coordinated response to 300 million won total. The members emphasized their hope to provide strength to those affected by the disaster.
Three Stray Kids Members Unite for Relief
Lee Know said of his donation: 'I hope my heart can be of even a little strength to those going through a difficult time. I sincerely hope everyone can return to their peaceful daily lives as soon as possible.' AllKpop confirmed the donation reached World Vision on August 28.
Rino and Reno made identical 100 million won contributions the same day. Rino stated, 'I hope my feelings can be a small source of strength for those going through difficult times.' All three members directed their funds toward immediate survival needs: food, temporary shelter, and safe drinking water for affected children and families.
Long History of Charitable Work Since 2014
This relief effort reflects Stray Kids' sustained philanthropic commitment. All three members became overseas child sponsors through World Vision in 2014 and have maintained that support for a decade. Both Rino and Reno achieved recognition as the youngest members of World Vision's Bob Pierce Honor Club in 2024.
Beyond Nepal, the members contributed to World Vision's Global Food Crisis Response Project in 2024, addressing hunger worldwide. Their coordinated August donations demonstrate how the group regularly channels resources toward international humanitarian causes, not just one-off responses to emergencies.
Nepal Floods Spark International Response
Nepal faced devastating destruction from severe flooding and landslides that swept through the Himalayan region. At least 691 deaths have been confirmed, with approximately 3,000 people still reported missing. Nine South Koreans are among the missing, including employees from Doosan Enerbility and Korea South-East Power.
The disaster displaced thousands of families and destroyed homes and infrastructure across affected communities. World Vision and other organizations launched emergency operations to deliver food, clean water, temporary shelter, and medical care. Stray Kids' donations represent part of the broader international relief mobilization for Nepal's recovery.
