The programs and activities of the FFWPU (Unification Movement) are many and varied. They span the globe, touching all areas of human endeavor. In a little over 50 years since Rev. Moon officially founded the Movement (since 1954), he has created many organizations for the unity of the world's religions, family and society, politics and ideology, international relief, service, science and technology, education, arts, business enterprises, media, agriculture, sports, and others.
Prominent among the many organizations today, are: The International Interreligious Federation for World Peace-IIFWP, renamed Universal Peace Federation (UPF)(NGO of the United Nations); International Interreligious Peace Council -IIPC; Ambassadors for Peace (APF); Women Federation for World Peace -WFWP(NGO of the United Nations); Youth Federation for World Peace - YFWP; and World Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles - World CARP.
In general, our programs and activities involve:
