Girls in developing countries live in poverty while being deprived of access to education and health services because "they are girls," and are relegated to the lowest classes of society. Plan International will provide support through a multi-faceted approach so that girls can acquire the "strength to live." This will include developing educational environments that are friendly to girls in countries across Asia, Africa and Central and South America, as well as educational activities and advocacy to prevent early forced marriage and pregnancy, and to protect girls from customs and traditions that threaten their physical and mental health. Specifically, we will carry out activities that offer both tangibles, such as creating schools where girls can go with peace of mind, as well as intangibles like advocacy and training. We will also help to create environments where girls and women can continue to live with dignity even after our projects are completed.Good Aging Yells

One in seven children in Japan is poor. One newborn baby in Japan dies every two weeks from abandonment or abuse.

Ryota HosoyaAbout Programs
In Japan, about 200,000 children are facing serious illnesses such as pediatric cancer. Some of these children say that their dream is to "play outside" because they have few opportunities to do so during their long and painful struggling with their illnesses. The mission is to invite children with serious illnesses, and their families, to the Solaputi Kids’ Camp for nature-based outdoor experiences with on-site medical care for free. The children and their families can fully enjoy Hokkaido's bountiful nature without any concern for their illnesses. Our goal is that children in the grip of illnesses and their families feel relaxed and get the energy to carry on living by spending invaluable time in Solaputi Kids' Camp. The construction and operation of this campsite with medical care is supported by donations and volunteers.CARE International Japan

Saburo TakizawaAbout Programs
The fellowship program operated by Teach For Japan started from 2013, and has delivered for 10 years. In 2021, the scope of the program has been extended to 42 cities, the number of fellows who were sent to school was 162, and the number of children involved was 21,998. On the other hand, education reform in Japan is currently undergoing a major turning point. As mentioned in the OECD report, unfortunately the overtime work hours of Japanese teachers and the development situation of ICT environment are the worst class in the world. We believe that the mission and potential needs that Teach For Japan should fulfill are very large.We believe that our efforts to produce "teachers" at school and to be involved in the core of public education will play a very important role in solving these issues.Japan Environmental Education Forum

Shuichi TakizawaAbout Programs
Amid the changes in society in recent years, such as declining birthrate, population aging, urbanization, working in double harness and an increase in single-parent households, there are fewer opportunities for children to grow up while accumulating various natural and social experiences on a daily basis in their community. In addition, there are growing number of adults who, due to various factors, spend the day not moving their body, having no contact with people, and not talking. With the aim of “environmental education that leaves no one behind”, we will turn our eyes towards not only healthy people, but also to those who have difficulties, problems or worries in carrying on their daily life or social life, and will provide nature experience programs and hands-on learning programs that excite people’s motivation to learn, so that they can grow with confidence in themselves, carve out their future with their own hands, and become the leaders of a better society. We would appreciate it if you would support our activities for environmental education that allow all of us to learn/grow from nature while interacting with nature.Tokyo Development Foundation for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

The planned forests of cedars and cypresses, which account for about 60% of the forests in the Tama area of Tokyo, have not been adequately cared for due to the prolonged slump in lumber prices and other factors, and the forest cycle of "logging - lumberuse - planting - maintenance" has stagnated in recent years. Many of the cedar and cypress forests have reached the end of their useful lives, but are not being utilization, which are the main cause of pollinosis. For this reason, we are working with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to promote "Low-Pollen Forests" to reduce the amount of cedar and cypress pollen by cutting down planned forests in Tama and planting low-pollen cedar and other trees under proper care and management.NPO Sodateage Net

45About Programs
An increasing number of children are experiencing isolation from society due to stumbling blocks such as bullying and dropouts, developmental disabilities, and family disagreements. With the mission of "connecting young people and society" in response to this issue, we are developing a learning support program aimed at preventing school-age children from being isolated and on-site lessons at high schools. However, there are many cases in which children and families seeking support give up participating in the program due to financial concerns, and schools are unable to conduct on-site lessons due to financial difficulties. Once isolated, it is very difficult to have contact with society. Starting support while you belong to the school community is an effective way to avoid aggravation of the problem. Please support our activities.Friends Without A Border Japan

Friends Without A Border Japan provides pediatric medical support to children in Laos, Cambodia, and other Asian countries. We opened Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC) in Luang Prabang (Laos) in 2015, where we provide free medical care in a compassionate environment with the intent of establishing a locally sustainable hospital by and for the Lao people. LFHC’s guiding ethos is “Treat every patient as if they were your own child.” Many of our patients are children who require inpatient care. Receiving proper treatment can save their lives. Your generous donation will help us save as many lives as possible by providing essential care to those hospitalized children at LFHC in Laos.Chance for Children,Inc.

Around the world, an increasing number of people are fleeing conflict and human rights abuses to become refugees. In 2020, that number reached 82.4 million. They have also fled to Japan, but refugee status is strictly limited and only 74 was recognized in 2021, and it takes more than four years on average to receive the results of an application for refugee status, and public support during that time is very limited. Since many refugees do not have any acquaintances or people they can depend on in Japan, they face hardship soon after their arrival, resulting in some of them becoming homeless. This project will be used to support people who have difficulties in accessing basic needs such as medical care, food, clothing, and shelter. In addition, we provide information on refugee applications and resources so that they will be protected and able to live safely in Japan.NPO Kidsdoor

I want to create a social system with fair opportunities even for children in difficult environments such as poverty, where the environment in which they were born and disasters cause inequality in their future dreams and hopes. Established an organization in 2007. If you give up going to school, it will be disadvantageous for employment, and as a result, the children will also have the problem of poverty. In order to break this negative chain, we run free study sessions and whereabouts in Tokyo and Tohoku (Sendai and Minamisanriku) from elementary school students to high school students who have low academic ability and do not have learning habits due to educational disparities. In particular, high school examination guidance has achieved a high school enrollment rate of 100% since its establishment.Shapla Neer = Citizens’ Committee in Japan for Overseas Support
