Peace Winds Japan

 


Peace Winds Japan (PWJ) is an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), dedicated to the support of people in distress, threatened by conflict, poverty, or other turmoil. With its headquarters in Japan, PWJ has been active in various parts of the world.

The basic concept of PWJ has been "to provide necessary support to people in need" since its establishment in l996. Beyond national boundaries, PWJ has carried out support activities for refugees who fled their countries, domestic refugees who suffer in their own countries, disaster victims and poverty-stricken people, regardless of their ethnic background, political stance, religion or faith.

Support activities of PWJ are roughly two-fold: one is emergency humanitarian relief, aiming to secure the safety of lives and to provide the basic necessities. The other is assistance for restoration and development of ravaged areas, aiming at retrieval of self-sustaining livelihood. Furthermore, in Japan, PWJ is performing advocacy activities which include generating awareness and betterment of understanding among general citizens of the situations in which PWJ works.

PWJ's activities are made possible by funds that consist of membership fees and donations from individuals and business entities as well as subsidies from government institutions, international organs and various foundations, added to the revenues earned through our income-earning programs. PWJ continues to seek ways and means for the most efficient and effective use of such funds for support.

PWJ hopes, as a member of civil society, to contribute to realization of public benefits and, ultimately, world peace.
