Working with local government agencies and NPOs on the ground we were able to reach 1,092 families who had been affected by the flooding.
Many of these families either completely or partially lost their home and thus created an economic hardship for them.
We made a commitment to support these families by sending regular boxes of food from our main office in Tokyo. Each volunteers sorted food donations and packed boxes that had the essential items such as rice, cooking oil, canned fish/meat, noodles, and condiments along with sweets for children. We also included postcards for the recipient family to respond with a note to our supporters. As a custom in Japan, recipients want to show their appreciation and these postcards are one way to make that possible for them.
