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.

Busy, busy Santa. He makes appearances many times on this day.


Around Christmas and the end of the year, we received many goods for children. When we opened the boxes, inside we found chocolates, stationery, paper napkins and decorations that would be very popular with girls. The boxes were filled with the wishes that they would return to the way of life they had before. 
Santa Claus who had to deliver the presents made 5 or 6 appearances by December 31st and we received numerous request calls for him.  

 
A bag full of donated wool thread kindly hung on the door of our office.

 
Presents for the children – these ones arrived from abroad.
