naræ International Foundation

Cancer is hard enough.
naræ is for women carrying more.

naræ (나래), pronounced nah-reh, means "wings" in Korean.

naræ International Foundation is a nonprofit organization cultivating a culturally grounded community of belonging and renewal for immigrant and culturally diverse women navigating breast and gynecologic cancers.

Why naræ Exists

Support should feel understood, not generic.

Many immigrant and culturally diverse women affected by breast and gynecologic cancers remain unseen in traditional support spaces. naræ was created to change that through culturally grounded community — helping women move from isolation toward belonging, from healing toward renewed confidence and purpose, and over time toward greater participation and visibility in the experiences that shape care and research.

naræ Healing Cycle

A gentle rhythm of belonging, renewal, and walking beside. In time, walking beside another may become part of one's own healing.

The community begins through small virtual circles, quiet gatherings, and occasional retreats where women support one another across cultures and experiences.
