Our project will provide immediate and long-term support to orphanages in Tohoku and other areas that were affected by the devastating earthquake and tsunami. We'll provide material support such as clothing, footwear, toys, books, school supplies, and bikes. For emotional support, this includes counseling and therapeutic activities (field trips,Yoga, camps,etc...)

AAR JAPAN is responding to the devastating earthquake and tsunami by distributing food and basic goods, as well as providing mobile medical services, repairing institutions which serve the elderly and people with disabilities, and providing long-term socio-psychological assistance to displaced people. AAR in particular focuses on the elderly and those with disabilities because of their extreme vulnerability during and after these disasters - over 65% of those killed in Tohoku were over 60.

AMDA operated mobile clinics in evacuation shelters in cities stricken by the Earthquake and Tsunami. One of these shelters was a high school gym. Students had lost their homes and financial backing. AMDA started 3-year programme of supporting high school students by providing grants. Students who wish to be health professionals will receive a grant of 15,000 yen/month untill they graduate from high school. 25 students of two high schools have already received this grant.

Although the government relief efforts have been well coordinated and swift, there are still many items in short supply at such shelters and facilities. As Japan takes steps towards relief and recovery, Hands On Tokyo has teamed up with a locally organized response team, Team SOS (name unofficial) to support those in the affected regions by sending necessary supplies that are in short supply at such shelters.

On March 11, an 8.9 earthquake struck off the shores of northern Japan. This is likely the largest earthquake to hit the island nation. A tsunami of waves as high as 33ft struck the coast near Sendai.

The north coast of Japan was hit by a horrible tsunami after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred 80 miles offshore. This fund is supporting organizations providing relief and aid to victims.

This project is to give hope for about 6,000 people in a small tsunami-stricken Tohoku community to be economically reactivated, instead of losing community-based economic activities due to inadequate governmental support to such small communities. People in Isatomae established their shops in a large-sized tent, but it still requires donations to maintain the operation of the community shops. It is just the beginning of rebuilding their community economic activities, and still requires support.

A devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake has struck Japan. International Medical Corps' emergency response team is on the ground, focusing on reaching affected-communities that are currently isolated.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan continue to affect thousands. Peace Winds remains committed to serving vulnerable populations, especially the elderly. Relief teams are meeting people's basic needs, such as warmth through the winter, at temporary housing and at private homes. Peace Winds is also promoting economic recovery through fishing cooperatives. We are providing supplies and resources to cooperatives and their members to ensure recovery of the region's most vital industry.

This project will help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region of Japan rebuild their lives by providing services to improve their psychological and physical conditions. Specifically, it will provide comprehensive mobile services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, mental health counseling, and community building activities.
