What is Miyagi-Jonet?

MIYAGI JO-NET (Miyagi Women’s Support Network) is a non-profit organisation supporting women in the Tohoku area that was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. We aim to connect the women in the affected areas with women and supporters from around Japan and the world. To this end, we are cooperating with various other women’s and relief organisations. Our many projects are designed to help women individually in reconstructing their lives and livelihoods. We thereby hope to brighten their everyday a little bit. We also collect relief/support goods and other donations to distribute them among the women and families affected by the disaster. Through regular meetings, our ‘salons,’ and consultations, we gain insight into women’s needs and concerns, and propose adequate measures to local and regional administrations.

Many of Miyagi Jonet’s members are women affected themselves by the disaster.

Mobile Solar


Omori Store is now supplied with electricity!
We had asked Fuji Electrics for their cooperation, who brought a mobile solar device and thus helped the store greatly to resume business.
A mobile solar comes complete with a cylindrical battery, so that electricity can be stored for emergency situations and drawn from both sun and fluorescent light.
It is very easy to use: just open it and pull the solar sheet-panel out. It is immediately ready for use. The picture shows two of the members of Jonet setting the mobile solar up. Unfortunately, we could not take any pictures then to demonstrate the devices’ efficacy, because we had to return to Sendai.
It is so convenient to have a portable bag attached to the mobile solar; it can be carried over the shoulder. So one has one’s hands free in emergency situations.
Fuji Electrics, thank you very much!
