Children In Japan Need Our Help Now
2011-03-22

On an ordinary day, ChildFund Japan, a member of the ChildFund Alliance, raises funds for programs it implements in developing countries worldwide. Today is no ordinary day: ChildFund Japan is launching an emergency response in its own country, following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. With support from other members of the ChildFund Alliance, including ChildFund International, ChildFund Japan will attend to immediate physical needs brought about by the shattered infrastructure — food, clean water, shelter.

Relief items are being distributed in three prefectures (states) that were seriously damaged. ChildFund Japan has partnered with institutions in the area to maximize resources, coordinating with these entities to maintain a steady flow of emergency goods (rice, noodles, powdered milk, butane cartridges and other daily needs) and to avoid overlap or gaps. By meeting children’s basic needs, we help them strengthen their ability to cope and remain resilient in the face of these traumatic events.

Equally important, though, is the psychosocial support ChildFund will provide for the children who suffered the disasters and will continue to bear their long-term effects. ChildFund Japan will provide thousands of teachers with a manual based on one that ChildFund International created for use in emergency situations. In the aftermath of natural disasters, children’s universes are turned upside down, and they need to be able to talk about such stressful events in order to heal. It’s important to listen sensitively to children and help them understand what has happened. Teachers and caregivers can look to the manual for targeted, age-appropriate activities.

ChildFund Japan has sought our help so it can support earthquake- and tsunami-affected children as fully as possible through this crisis.

We, in turn, seek yours. Please donate now to help ChildFund care for Japan’s children, who have lost so much.
