List of Japanese Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Websites

Most of the NGO websites listed below are those with overseas projects. These NGOs implement projects with local partners in target countries, rather than provide financial aid, grants or subsidies. The websites contain mostly Japanese info. Click on "English" where available - sometimes this English info is very limited. Websites of international NGOs' (with Japan offices, for example CARE, WWF etc.) are not listed.

Japan NGO Center for International Cooperation (JANIC)

The Japan NGO Center for International Cooperation (JANIC) currently has 31 NGOs among their membership assisting victims in disaster areas through various means, such as distribution of basic necessities to evacuation shelters, cooking and providing hot meals at evacuation shelters, providing medical care and supplies, and offering counseling services. The needs of the disaster areas are changing daily and their member NGOs' relief efforts will also continue to change as they accommodate those needs.
