Association for Aid and Relief, Japan

AAR Japan was founded in 1979 in Japan with the aim ofproviding assistance to Indochinese refugees. Since then, we have expanded activities to include more than 65 countries and regions.

AAR Japan is dedicated to assisting those who are most affected and most in need whatever the reason may be. We also aim to provide long-term assistance rather than short-lived aid.

AAR Japan discriminates against no one based on political views, or religious beliefs and delivers aid to those most affected in an impartial manner. To ensure neutrality of our work, we make every effort possible to avoid depending on public sources of funding.

Vision

AAR Japan envisions a world where all people, as unique and diverse human beings, can coexist with respect for human dignity and in harmony with the environment.

Mission

Established with the spirit of reciprocity and goodwill, AAR Japan provides those affected by hardships such as conflict, natural disasters, and poverty with the assistance they need, making tomorrow better than today for everyone. Through support from around the world and Japan, we hope to demonstrate that each individual has an important role to play for world’s peace and stability. AAR Japan is committed to realizing a global society where the weak are not left behind, and where minorities are not faced social rejection.
