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.

-Empowering everyone as agents of peace, together we will break the chains of violence.- We believe that even in times of hardship, everyone possesses the potential to become an agent of peace. We pave the way to break the chain of violence and initiate a positive cycle that propels us toward sustaining peace. Hardship here encompasses a broad spectrum of challenges in both domestic and international contexts. This may present as suffering caused by humanitarian crises and social exclusion or struggling to disengage from non-state armed groups, including so-called violent extremist organizations, in active conflict zones. Within these challenging circumstances, our focus is not only on ending suffering but on transforming adversity. Believing in the potential of each individual we create proactive solutions for sustainable peace. This is where our purpose and pride reside.
