Refugees International Japan is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to assist refugees who have lost everything as a result of war and conflict. Operating out of Tokyo, we are staffed entirely by volunteers from the Japanese and international communities. Refugees International Japan channels project funds through experienced organizations already working with refugees out in the field, ensuring that assistance goes quickly and directly to where it is most needed.
