Charity
Through running, we aim to provide opportunities for people to think about how they can make a contribution to society, such as getting involved in charitable activities, promoting sports, protecting the environment, supporting refugees throughout the world, supporting children with incurable diseases, and animal protection. We hope to link the hearts of each individual with society. This vision underpins the running of the Tokyo Marathon Foundation’s RUN with HEART charity program.

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. -

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. -

KnK has been providing educational support in six countries and regions around the world. In the Middle East, we have been developing a project to support Syrian refugees in Jordan since 2013. After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, there has been a gradual movement of people returning to their home country from Jordan, but it is still a fluid situation. KnK will continue to provide educational opportunities for children in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, and will continue to work to promote the social development of children in cooperation with schools, families and communities. We will also continue to seek opportunities to provide children in Syria, which is in the midst of the turmoil, with educational opportunities and a safe place to live.
[project details]In the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, we will provide classes to help children who want to return to Syria to improve their Arabic language skills so that they can return to school in Syria smoothly after they return (Beneficiaries: approximately 700 students). In addition, as the number of people returning to Syria increases around the children and they are sensitive to those changes in the situation, we will focus on activities such as psychological care training, including how to interact with children, for parents who come into contact with children on a daily basis. -

It is unfair that a child's hopes and dreams are left unfulfilled because of the environment they were brought up in or because of natural disasters. NPO Kidsdoor was founded in 2007 to increase the opportunities that underprivileged children can have, and subsequently create a fairer society. Due to a lack of access to funds, many children don't go on to further education, putting them in a disadvantaged position when seeking jobs, repeating the poverty cycle. To break the poverty cycle, we provide free educational and social spaces in Tokyo, Saitama, Kobe and Tohoku (Sendai and Minanisanriku) for children from primary school to high school who miss out on educational opportunities due to their economic backgrounds. Furthermore, we provide supplies such as food and stationery, and career support to low-income families. -

703 million people are still living without clean water close to home and people have no choice but to collect dirty water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. This results in the spread of waterborne diseases, children missing schools to help their family with fetching water and so on. WaterAid has been working to deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to the most marginalized communities in the world for over 40 years. Your support will contribute one of our water, sanitation and hygiene projects in Badin District, Sindh Province, Pakistan. Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, and even within Pakistan, Badin District is particularly at risk. The area frequently experiences natural disasters such as cyclones, heavy rains, floods, and droughts. Through this project, we aim to install water supply facilities, promote the use of toilets, and improve water and sanitation conditions at schools and healthcare facilities, so that people can access clean water and sanitation and practice good hygiene.
