All for Ukraine: Street Fundraising Campaign Launched!

Peace Boat Disaster Relief (PBV) set up an emergency relief fund last week to support those affected by the war in Ukraine.

Together with NGO Peace Boat, we have started a fundraising campaign for a Romania-based NGO, Peace Action Training and Research Institute of Romania (PATRIR), which has been tirelessly providing support to refugees from Ukraine and coordinating humanitarian assistance in Romania since the beginning of the crisis.

NGO Peace Boat has regional centers in five different cities across Japan, and each center is hosting street fundraising campaigns to support the PATRIR’s humanitarian programs. The first to kick-off the program was Peace Boat Center Fukuoka, located in the largest city in Kyushu region. The Peace Boat team went out on a street in Tenjin, one of the busiest areas in the city, to call for donations during Monday lunchtime. In the evening, Peace Boat Center Tokyo organized the campaign outside Takadanobaba station in Tokyo.
Despite the campaigns having to be carried out silently to comply with the designated preventive measures against COVID-19 infections, many people, including small children, showed their support through donations. We are very grateful for their generous contributions. Thank you very much!

Our fundraising campaign continues, and we seek your further support of the program.
