The first movement was for donating funds for weaponry.

In response to the call of Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Il Sung, all the people of the country--workers, peasants, students, patriotic businessmen and little children--turned out as one in a campaign to provide war planes, tanks and ships to the front.

Their donation funds totaled to 174,497,000-won (in Korean currency) one month after the start of the war on June 25, 1950, and ran into at least 400 million-won at the end of August.

The civilians also launched a movement for offering comforts and inspiring letters to the KPA soldiers on the front.

Pyongyang citizens had sent 100,000 comfort articles and inhabitants of Hwanghae Province 244,000 articles and 114,000 letters to the front until June 30, 1950.

Meanwhile, a campaign for donating relief grains to the front was launched among peasants. This campaign developed rapidly into an all-people movement when Kim Il Sung sent a letter of thanks to eight peasants of South Phyongan Province in November 1952, after receiving a joint letter they presented to him along with their donation of relief rice to the front.

During the war inhabitants across the country had also carried munitions and foods to the KPA soldiers on the front battles, encouraging them to heroic feats.

Such movements were a vivid expression of the DPRK people's intense loyalty to their leader and ardent patriotism as well as their firm confidence in sure victory.
