Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

On the 11th of March 2011, Japan was hit by one of the most powerful earthquakes ever known to have hit the country. Following the earthquakes, large tsunamis devastated Japan's north-eastern coast, damaging or destroying nearly 40,000 buildings, leaving 20,000 dead. IsraAID's first team arrived on the ground 4 days after the tsunami, and distributed aid, cleaned houses, created child-friendly spaces, and rebuilt schools. During this period, IsraAID discovered a rapidly growing need for psycho-social and post-traumatic care, and has decided to launch the "Japan IsraAID Support Program (JISP)" in August 2013. Drawing on local and foreign knowledge, IsraAID and JISP have provided direct support to the victims and trained thousands of professionals and care providers in MHPSS, offering PTSD prevention, stress-management and leadership workshops. Founded in the aftermath of the great disaster in Tohoku, JISP now operates as one of the leading humanitarian organizations based in Japan's Tohoku Region where very few international NGOs activate.

Our Mission Think about care, Make lives better, Innovate our welfare We believe that social work and nursing are not a mere labor, but highly specialized professions that aim for the best interests of the person involved. These actions are taken to improve their lives. Life is all about the little things: fresh air, sunlight, good meal, and cleanliness. We practice these to organize life every day. We take action to make recommendations and request concrete reforms from government and local decision-makers. Targets of Our Action 1. We provide nursing care and social work to people who need supports, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, children, and people in poverty. 2. We offer supports those who cannot be covered by the official system. For example, food banks, providing meals and securing housing. 3. We protect abused children and people in need, provide them with housing, support their daily lives, and provide psychological support. Children who have been abused need support even when they become adults. We provide counseling and support for their education and daily life. Our Philosophy 1.Evidence-Based Practice We practice care and social work scientifically based on human anatomy and physiology. We advocate the voices of the "silent people" and act their best interests. 2. Social Responsibility We, FUKUSHI GAKUDAN are a public interest corporation certified by local government. Also, we disclose our information in a straightforward manner and comply with laws and regulations. 3.

Tansa is an independent, nonprofit, investigative newsroom based in Tokyo. Our investigations reveal - and aim thereby to end - wrongdoing by the powerful, such as government bodies and corporations. We approach our work by considering what needs to change in order to achieve redress for injustice and ensure that others are not harmed by similar wrongdoing in the future. In 2020, Japan ranked 66th in Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index. The country's major media organizations, prioritizing their own business interests, often fail to sufficiently monitor power or to speak up for the victims of its abuses. We believe independent, investigative journalism is essential for the Japanese public. As governments, corporations, and criminals increasingly work across borders, so too must the journalists who investigate them. In 2018, Tansa became Japan's first official member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), which as of February 2021 is comprised of 203 independent, nonprofit media organizations in 80 countries.
