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.

Goods for sale to support the disaster area, set out in the exchange meeting hall.

Each item was handmade by women supported by Jonet.
The acrylic scrubbing brush is titled, ‘Athenian Passion’.
The cotton bag can hold A4 files and has a chic and distinctive design featuring earthy colours.
Fortunately, these scrubbing brushes and bags sold very well on this, their debut appearance. There were also many people who already knew how delicious the seaweed is, and they bought it up as souvenir gifts.
We would like to express here our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated for their cooperation. Thank you very much.

We kindly ask for your continued assistance with spreading the word about our goods for commission sales, events, and purchase as end-of-year and summer gifts.
