If you'd like to donate or provide aid in any form, please get in touch with the following organisations involved in rehabilitation work:

WorldVision: Their assessment team has arrived in the quake zone to assess the needs of survivors and prepare supplies for the homeless. World Vision also plans to establish child-friendly spaces so children affected by the disasters can resume normal childhood activities and experience structure and security.

Mercy Relief: The organisation is accepting donations to procure relief supplies. It has deployed a two-man preliminary disaster response team to Japan to ascertain ground needs and procure relief supplies. The team helps distribute supplies with UN agencies, and will address the need for food, water and quilts.
