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.

Kesennuma’s here and now


We delivered clothes and underwear, etc., to areas that have not yet received aid supplies, and on the way home I gave a tour of Kesennuma.

The fish market with flags fluttering
 

 

Sunken land. The border between land and sea has become indiscernible.

The painstaking volunteer operation to clean up debris

  
Near temporary housing

 
The state of the area in which temporary housing residents live

 
Work on the line is making headway.

 
All that remains is this vault.

“Oikawa Jeans” is doing their bit!
This photo was taken from inside the car, but it is easier to see so I have changed the previous image for this.
