Story

At the JETAA UK AGM this year we unanimously voted to partner with Ashinaga Association in the UK as our charity partner.

For our first campaign with Ashinaga UK, JETAA UK is proud to be taking part in The 2.6 Challenge. This is a nationwide campaign, launched on Sunday the 26th of April in response to the effect of Covid-19 on UK charities. This campaign lasts just over one month, and Ashinaga is hoping to raise £10,000 to offset some of the losses experienced as a result of Covid-19.

Ashinaga UK has two programs

1) The Ashinaga UK Master’s Program (AMP), enabling talented orphaned students from Japan to study for a master’s degree in a UK university.
2) The Ashinaga Africa Initiative (AAI), enabling selected orphaned students from sub-Saharan African countries to study at UK universities, develop their professional and leadership abilities, and return to the continent to enact meaningful change in their communities.


There is more information, including a fundraising pack with tips on fundraising from home, on Ashinaga on their website: en.ashinaga.org/the-2-6-challenge


100% of the funds raised during The 2.6 Challenge will go to student costs, and you can specify whether you want to raise money for the Master’s Program or the Africa Initiative.

Further, all money raised for the Ashinaga Africa Initiative will be matched by a partner, meaning that for every pound you raise we receive two pounds, or even more if you are a UK tax-payer and are eligible for gift aid!

In addition to JET Chapters working with their members on fundraising activities, we would love to see individual JET alumni setting up their own fundraising projects. Please make sure you join the JETAA UK team so that we can keep a track of the overall impact of our community's work!

Covid-19は、チャリティー団体にも深刻な影響を与えました。チャリティー団体にとって資金源である多くのイベントが中止となり、日本円で約52億円の損失が生じると推計されています。

あしながUKでは、将来を担う若い「チェンジメーカー」を支援する活動を行っています。今後もこの活動を続けられるよう、ぜひみなさんの力をお貸しください。

あしながUKは、「あしながアフリカイニシアティブ(AAI)」と「あしながUKマスタープログラム(AMP)」の二つの奨学金プログラムを運営しています。AAIでは、親を亡くしたアフリカの学生がイギリスの大学で学び、AMPでは親を亡くした日本の学生がイギリスの大学院で学ぶことを支援しています。留学を通じて彼らが様々なスキルやアイディアを身に着け、母国に帰った後社会の「チェンジメーカー」となるような、次世代のリーダーを育成することを目指しています。

私たちは、教育の力を信じています。学ぶ機会を得ることで、親を亡くすという辛い境遇を乗り越え、他人の気持ちを理解できる「チェンジメーカー」となる力に変えることができると信じています。

いただいた募金は、奨学生の生活費や、彼らのキャリアにつながるセミナーやインターンなどへの参加費等に充てられ、全て奨学生のために活用させていただきます。

みなさんに支援していただくことで、将来のAAI・AMP奨学生が次の時代を担うリーダーや、社会に変革をもたらす力となることができます。

ご協力をよろしくお願いします。
