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.

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.

-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.

Our mission is to realize peace in East Asia, including the Korean Peninsula, and sustainable life for young people. 1. Beyond the conflicts and antagonisms of East Asian countries, we want to create a symbiotic community centered on 'peace' and 'prosperity'. For this, PWK will become an East Asian platform that manages the absolute crisis facing mankind and achieves the UN sustainable development goals(UN SDGs). We are going to take a new path that will serve as the cornerstone of peace on the Korean Peninsula and peace community in East Asia. 2. PWK will send young Koreans to international cooperation sites and train them. Foreign NGOs who have entered Korea tend to stick to fundraising. They neglect to send young people to international cooperation sites. When young Koreans grow up solving various challenges at the international cooperation sites, they will be able to become the people who fit into the new era and lead our future. 3. PWK will support North Korea, which faces the worst situation in the world, but has unlimited potential. Instead of unilateral support, we are trying to help North Korea to promote co-prosperity as partners who will live together in East Asia. As history shows, symbiosis is the only way in East Asia.
