For Donors in Japan
That We May Live Together
Your support helps take root in rural communities around the world.
Supporting ARI is a step toward building a sustainable and peaceful world together. While valuing trust and sharing, we continue to expand a learning community and global connections. In addition to donations, contributions such as unused or miswritten postcards and purchases of ARI products are also valuable forms of support. We warmly invite you to participate in any way you can.
The cost of training for one participant is approximately 2 million yen,
and ARI covers almost the entire amount.
The training cost per participant is approximately 2 million yen, most of which is covered by ARI. This includes practical training, tuition, accommodation and insurance fees, daily meals, and travel expenses to Japan. We strive to create an environment where participants can fully focus on their training without financial barriers.
These efforts are made possible through the generous support of donors. Your contributions enable learning that reaches communities around the world.
To support learning that connects to the future,
we invite you to support this work.
