Jonet Menu

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.

New Year Day, 2012
We received a New Year card, written by a group of ladies who had participated in one of our Jonet salons. They say that official support has been sent to them only very recently. However, they are really strong, we have visited them several times and every time they encourage us.

Speaking of which, there was a call from the Chiba nori shop. The giveaways initially planned to be 20 and later increased to 50 pieces, were all gone by 1.30 pm. “It is because we have the support from everyone from Jonet and people around Japan” were their words of gratitude for the number of clients that exceeded their expectations.

There were relief goods delivered to our office in the morning of the 1st January. Thank you!
