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.

Viewing three temporary accommodation houses in Minamisanriku

We looked at temporary accommodation with individual houses.

 

 
There is even a tatami room.

 
Outside lights and storage space – such joy!  


 
There is a cooking and chopping area by the sink. 


 
Double-glazed windows

 
The construction of a draft eliminator, 
a door to prevent drafts, has started.

 
Autumn colours near the temporary dwellings. 

From a house on a hill, which escaped tsunami damage
 
The charter, sent to all townspeople before 
the earthquake and tsunami.  


 
Solar panels – part of the emergency relief goods sent to all townspeople after the disaster.  These were priceless treasures in the aftermath of the disaster.
