In Japan, about 200,000 children are facing serious illnesses such as pediatric cancer. Some of these children say that their dream is to "play outside" because they have few opportunities to do so during their long and painful struggling with their illnesses.
The mission is to invite children with serious illnesses, and their families, to the Solaputi Kids’ Camp for nature-based outdoor experiences with on-site medical care for free.
The children and their families can fully enjoy Hokkaido's bountiful nature without any concern for their illnesses. Our goal is that children in the grip of illnesses and their families feel relaxed and get the energy to carry on living by spending invaluable time in Solaputi Kids' Camp. The construction and operation of this campsite with medical care is supported by donations and volunteers. -

The planned forests of cedars and cypresses, which account for about 60% of the forests in the Tama area of Tokyo, have not been adequately cared for due to the prolonged slump in lumber prices and other factors, and the forest cycle of "logging - lumberuse - planting - maintenance" has stagnated in recent years. Many of the cedar and cypress forests have reached the end of their useful lives, but are not being utilization, which are the main cause of pollinosis. For this reason, we are working with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to promote "Low-Pollen Forests" to reduce the amount of cedar and cypress pollen by cutting down planned forests in Tama and planting low-pollen cedar and other trees under proper care and management. -

As partners in the global Teach For ALL network spanning over 60 countries, we are driving the resolution of educational challenges on a global scale through various policy collaborations and information sharing.The fellowship program operated by Teach For Japan started from 2013, and has delivered for 12 years. In 2024, the scope of the program has been extended to 87 cities, the number of fellows who were sent to school was 320, and the number of children involved exceeds 40,000. On the other hand, education reform in Japan is currently undergoing a major turning point. As mentioned in the OECD report, unfortunately the overtime work hours of Japanese teachers and the development situation of ICT environment are the worst class in the world. We believe that the mission and potential needs that Teach For Japan should fulfill are very large.We believe that our efforts to produce "teachers" at school and to be involved in the core of public education will play a very important role in solving these issues. -

About Programs
Currently, KnK provides educational support in six countries and regions around the world. Among them, the projects in Cambodia, Philippines and Bangladesh target street children, children who are victims of poverty such as child labor, and juveniles who have violated the law. Education is the key to a child's future. We will continue to uphold the dignity of these children by providing them with the educational opportunities they need in each of our project areas and by carefully protecting them. Donations from the Tokyo Marathon Charity will be used to protect and educate children in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh, who are often neglected by the international community due to their constant poverty and lack of interest. [Project Details] Cambodia (Beneficiaries: approximately 150 people) At the “House for Youth” a self-sustaining facility, the project will provide stable food, clothing and shelter, education and training opportunities, and educational classes (literacy, English, library) open to the community for youth ages 15-20. Philippines (Beneficiaries: about 1,430 people) The “House for Youth” provides self-sufficiency, stable food, clothing, shelter, educational and vocational opportunities, and psychological care for boys ages 10-17.

About Programs
The bone marrow Donor program, which saves the lives of leukemia patients, is a mutual aid movement between citizens in the same way as blood donation. However, there is a shortage of bone marrow donor registrants, and this Conference is carrying out dissemination and awareness raising of the bone marrow bank, along with activities to promote donor registration. As an advanced private sector initiative, we are carrying out a subsidy support project for leukemia patients. However, it is difficult to secure sufficient funds and the subsidy amounts and target persons are limited. The Tokyo Marathon Charity donation will be used to enhance the patient support project. The donation project consists of opening activities and medical consultation activities for a medical lecture meeting to be carried out as a subsidy for "fertility preservation" costs of AYA (children and young people) patients, a treatment cost subsidy for economically impoverished patients, and as activities to disseminate correct medical information. -

About Programs
There are 117.3 million people who are forcibly displaced worldwide. Refugees from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and other countries are fleeing to Japan as well. But only 303 people were recognized as refugees by the Japanese government in 2023 and allowed to stay in Japan. On the other hand, 7,627 people were denied by the government in the same year. It takes about three years on average to receive the results of an application for refugee status, and in the longest cases, nearly 10 years. During this time, public support is very limited. Some of them are in poverty soon after arriving in Japan, and some of them are even homeless.This project will provide support to those who have difficulties in accessing basic needs such as food, clothing, medical care and shelter. In addition, we provide information on refugee applications and resources so that they will be protected and able to live safely in Japan. Donations will be used to provide these supports and to cover some of the costs of conducting these activities. -

About Programs
It is unfair that a child's hopes and dreams are left unfulfilled because of the environment they were brought up in or because of natural disasters. NPO Kidsdoor was founded in 2007 to increase the opportunities that underprivileged children can have, and subsequently create a fairer society. Due to a lack of access to funds, many children don't go on to further education, putting them in a disadvantaged position when seeking jobs, repeating the poverty cycle. To break the poverty cycle, we provide free educational and social spaces in Tokyo, Saitama and Tohoku (Sendai and Minanisanriku) for children from primary school to high school who miss out on educational opportunities due to their economic backgrounds. Furthermore, we provide supplies such as food and stationery, and career support to low-income families. -

About Programs
SHAPLA NEER works to protect children's rights in Bangladesh and Nepal. In Bangladesh, we support for girls who working as domestic workers. They work from morning to night in other people's homes and do not have time for child-like activities such as learning at school or playing with friends. We have established a support center in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to provide the girls with basic education and technical training. We also visit the homes of their employers and raise awareness among local residents to encourage behavioral change among the people surrounding the girls, and lobby the government to ensure that the "Domestic Worker's Protection and Welfare policy" established by the Bangladesh government is legislated and properly implemented. In Nepal, we are working to protect children who are at high risk of going to work in the future and to reduce estimated child labor in Makwanpur District, which is a sending area for child labor. In addition to conducting training to strengthen the monitoring capacity of the local government, we continue to raise awareness about the current situation of child labor and children's rights with the community groups, schools, children's clubs, and others. The program also offers an individualized approach, providing educational support and food assistance to children who are already working, and counseling and technical assistance to parents. Your donations will be carefully used for activities that support the future of these children. -

About Programs
Amid the changes in society in recent years, such as declining birthrate, population aging, urbanization, working in double harness and an increase in single-parent households, there are fewer opportunities for children to grow up while accumulating various natural and social experiences on a daily basis in their community. In addition, there are growing number of adults who, due to various factors, spend the day not moving their body, having no contact with people, and not talking. With the aim of “environmental education that leaves no one behind”, we will turn our eyes towards not only healthy people, but also to those who have difficulties, problems or worries in carrying on their daily life or social life, and will provide nature experience programs and hands-on learning programs that excite people’s motivation to learn, so that they can grow with confidence in themselves, carve out their future with their own hands, and become the leaders of a better society. We would appreciate it if you would support our activities for environmental education that allow all of us to learn/grow from nature while interacting with nature. -

About Programs
As a way to solve the issues in child poverty and learning disparities, Chance for Children (CFC) provides underserved children with coupons, redeemable only at educational facilities throughout Japan. 3,000 registered classes are available for children to choose from, and if they need advice, college student volunteers, a.k.a. Brothers & Sisters, or coordinators in the community guide them while spending time together. CFC reimburses tuitions/fees of the class that the children take directly to the facilities, so there is no need for the children’s families to cover the costs at any given time. This CFC’s coupon program is on annual bases- the children are selected based on their family’s income, and priority is given to those who makes the least. Once selected, the children are entitled to continue participating in the following years if they wish, unless their family’s income increases dramatically. CFC strives to make the most lasting impact on each child’s life through education. -

Diabetes is a well-known disease, but it is not well known in Japan that there are different types of diabetes, such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Most diabetics have "Type 2 diabetes," for which diet and exercise are the basis of treatment; Type 1 diabetes accounts for only a few percent of all diabetics in Japan, and it often occurs even in children. Once developed, it is an incurable disease requiring insulin therapy of 4-5 injections daily for the rest of one's life. In 2005, the Japan IDDM Network established the "Type 1 Diabetes Research Fund" to support research aimed at eradicating Type 1 diabetes, in the hope of making this incurable disease curable. To date, we have provided over 800 million yen in research support. Please support the challenge of patients and their families to make the disease curable through the power of "mutual aid. -

About Programs
703 million people are still living without clean water close to home and people have no choice but to collect dirty water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. This results in the spread of waterborne diseases, children missing schools to help their family with fetching water and so on. WaterAid has been working to deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to the most marginalized communities in the world for over 40 years. One of its programme countries, Rwanda has been making remarkable progress, recovering from its civil war in the early 1990s and maintaining average annual economic growth of more than 7% since 2010. However, people in the rural area tend to be left behind. While over 80% of the urban population has access to clean water, only 56% of the rural population has access to clean water. Your donation through the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2024, we will be used to implement our project in Bugesera District. -

About Programs
We are the global humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church—part of the 20-million strong Adventist community, with hundreds of thousands of churches globally and the world’s largest integrated healthcare and education network. We deliver relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 107 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association. By partnering with local communities, organizations, and governments, we are able to deliver culturally relevant programs and build local capability for sustainable change. There are four pillars of activity. In the "Emergency Assistance for Life" program, we deliver life-saving assistance such as water, food, and shelter to victims of conflicts and disasters, and also provide psychological care and lifestyle counseling to help them find hope for life. Through the "Education Support to Open the Future" program, we aim to improve the quality of education by working with local communities to construct school buildings and provide equipment and teaching materials to improve the environment. We also increase the number of children who can attend school through awareness-raising activities and financial support such as livelihood enhancement and sponsorship. By the ”Income Generating Livelihoods” program, we support the creation of sustainable means of income in the local community, so that people are not forced to give up tomorrow's food, essential medical care, and education due to lack of sufficient income. In the “Health and Sanitation for Dignity” program, we work to ensure clean and safe water and a hygienic living environment, so that all people can lead a life of dignity. One of our activities is to convey life-saving knowledge through hygiene awareness and encourage people to stay healthy both physically and mentally. In all of our activities, we place importance on being close to the person in front of us. -

About Programs
Family House is the first organization in Japan to build hospital hospitality houses for children with severe illnesses and their families. We, Family House are operating 8 facilities with 17 rooms in Tokyo.We aim to create "dream houses" for children who require intense medical care along with their families, acting as a bridging middle-ground between the hospital and home. Donations through the Tokyo Marathon Charity will be used to fund construction of “dream houses,” where children with long-term illnesses can stay with their parents out of the hospital ward while still connected to the necessary medical equipment and also to maintain and operate existing facilities.
