What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

By the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, children's education in the area is facing considerable degree of challenges as learning and playing opportunities were severely damaged; school fields /playgrounds are now used for temporary housing complexes, parks became reconstruction bases. Many school programs can't be delivered due to severely damaged educational facilities and equipment. These situations have taken away children's quality learning opportunities.

How will this project solve this problem?

Potential Long Term Impact

The direct benefits of this project will be recovery of quality, safe learning opportunities for children under age 14 in Ishinomaki City and his/her family.
