On the 11th of March 2011, Japan was hit by one of the most powerful earthquakes ever known to have hit the country. Following the earthquakes, large tsunamis devastated Japan's north-eastern coast, damaging or destroying nearly 40,000 buildings, leaving 20,000 dead. IsraAID's first team arrived on the ground 4 days after the tsunami, and distributed aid, cleaned houses, created child-friendly spaces, and rebuilt schools. During this period, IsraAID discovered a rapidly growing need for psycho-social and post-traumatic care, and has decided to launch the "Japan IsraAID Support Program (JISP)" in August 2013. Drawing on local and foreign knowledge, IsraAID and JISP have provided direct support to the victims and trained thousands of professionals and care providers in MHPSS, offering PTSD prevention, stress-management and leadership workshops. Founded in the aftermath of the great disaster in Tohoku, JISP now operates as one of the leading humanitarian organizations based in Japan's Tohoku Region where very few international NGOs activate.

United for Nature and Human (UNH) is a nonprofit organization committed to creating meaningful change for both people and the planet. Our mission is to provide targeted support to human communities and the natural environment by addressing their distinct needs through separate but equally impactful initiatives. We believe that both human development and environmental conservation deserve focused attention and tailored solutions. On the human development front, UNH works to uplift privileged and underprivileged communities by promoting access to mental health education, Access to education in remote areas & Education reform programs in cities, Women empowerment, address issues such as caste and social justice, quality education, basic healthcare, skill development, and livelihood opportunities. We support ordinary and marginalized populations, men, women, children, and rural communities and all people of Nepal through programs that improve health awareness, sanitation, nutrition and free them from social stigma. By offering vocational training and education resources, we help individuals become self-reliant and empowered to shape better futures for themselves and their families. In parallel, UNH is deeply committed to environmental protection. Our organization runs various campaigns and projects that focus on conserving biodiversity, restoring degraded land, promoting afforestation, and spreading environmental awareness. We work with local communities to implement sustainable practices in agriculture, waste management, and water conservation (We aim through our project to make water available in many parts of Nepal where it is difficult to find water in some places and have to travel 2 hours to get it). These efforts aim to protect natural ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote environmental responsibility among all age groups. Rather than blending the two focus areas, UNH recognizes that human and environmental challenges often require different approaches, resources, and strategies. We design separate programs that allow us to address each area with the specificity and dedication it demands. This ensures our interventions are more effective, measurable, and responsive to the unique challenges faced by people and nature individually. At United for Nature and Human (UNH), we envision a future where people thrive with dignity and nature flourishes in balance. Our work continues to grow through partnerships, community involvement, Government involvement and a commitment to integrity and impact in every sector we serve.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
