Torrential Rains in Kyushu : Donating a Pick-up Vehicle to a PWD Facility

 Donation of a pick-up vehicle 

  

Three months after the torrential rains in Kyushu in early July 2020, the areas affected by the disaster are still struggling to restore their daily life. Right after the disaster, AAR JAPAN started to support the welfare facilities for PWDs in the affected area, and in late September, we donated a pick-up vehicle to one of the local NPOs named “Workshop Hinatabokko”.

Hygiene products distributed to victims of the Turkey earthquake

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the Aegean Sea off the coast of Turkey on October 30 killed 115 people mostly in the city of Izmir.   

   

The Turkish government and aid agencies continue to support the displaced people as well as the demolition of collapsed buildings. AAR Japan, in cooperation with the local NGO "Support to life" (STL), has been providing emergency relief by distributing hygiene kits.
