Any amount is greatly appreciated, as it helps us ensure that we continue helping Tohoku Build Back Better.
A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We have been able to raise nearly 2,500 dollars so far with your generous support.

Recent updates on projects include:
- Shizugawa Banya
Project near completion
- Kitakami "We Are One" Market and Youth Center
Using a unique method of construction called the "Itakura method," the pre-assembled boards were slotted between posts to form the perimeter of the building. In only a few short days, the youth center has really begun to take shape!
- Maeami-hama Community House
We officially broke ground on November 4th with members of the Maeami community, KMDW, and Architecture for Humanity staff. Construction hs begun, panels have arrived to the site, and column panels have begun to be assembled.
These projects would not have been possible without your generous donation. We cannot stress enough how much your donations mean to our program and hope for your continued interest and support!
Best Regards,
Architecture for Humanity
