Teachers For Japan  

Helping the students of northern Japan recover from the earthquake and tsunami of March 11th, 2011.


Welcome to our website.  Teachers For Japan is a nonprofit, all volunteer charity initiative dedicated to the cause of rebuilding education in northern Japan in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami of March 11th, 2011.

A Special Message from Teachers For Japan

One year ago today, at 2:46 p.m. local time, northeastern Japan was struck by the Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, the largest disaster in modern Japanese history.  Nearly 20,000 people died, and hundreds of thousands more lost their homes, belongings, and neighborhoods.  Rebuilding is a slow process that has only just begun, and the amount that must still be done is overwhelming.  Thanks to your generous assistance, however, we have been able to play our own small part.  Teachers For Japan has raised more than 20,000 U.S. dollars thanks to donations like yours, with which we have been able to aid hundreds of schoolchildren.  Money can’t bring back lost homes or loved ones, but it can provide a chance to get back to learning and growing.  Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
  

With your aid, we can help the students of Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate recover.

Towns like Minami Sanriku face enormous challenges in rebuilding from the devastation.

Working together, we can rebuild the communities of schools like this one in Higashimatsushima.

Thank you for your generosity.  Money has been coming in steadily since we started the site and already we have begun spending it on projects to help students in the stricken communities of Natori and Kesennuma.  We hope we will soon be able to show you the faces of students your contribution has directly helped.
