A little about KIWLKIWL is an international group of men & women in Japan who 'get fit & give back' through sport & leisure. Cycling, motorcycling, walking, running, Futsal, golf, pub quizzes and social nights, we have something for everyone!
Funds raised are deployed by our chosen charity, YouMeWe NPO, improving the lives of abused & neglected children living in care in Japan and giving them greater hope of successful outcomes in adult life through IT education in coding and programming. |
Recent NewsThanks to corporate sponsors of KIWL's cycle ride, individual donors and fringe events, KIWL has raised Y9,630,000 in 2019 to date. Y61.6 million raised in total (US$570,000) since 10 portly British men were silly enough to embark on a long-distance bike ride back in 2013!
Our flagship event, the 'KIWL 500' begins on June 13th with 42 amateur cyclists representing 14 countries attempting to ride 500kms in less than 4 days in aid of our chosen charity. It's not too late to soothe their pain by sponsoring their sore bottoms! Any donation however small, goes directly to YouMeWe for the direct benefit of the kids in care they serve. |
ABOUT OUR CHOSEN CHARITY
YouMeWe educates care home children in IT giving them employable skills for adult life (click on logo for more). They offer support programs to allow a child to become a productive, independent young adult in their community. They help develop skills like language, writing and digital literacy, thus increasing self-confidence. They also help with tutoring, internship opportunities, and guidance on higher education. Attained skills, improved communication, and an understanding of options give the kids a clearer future. Not only that but the kids give back themselves by educating the elderly in their communities in the use of modern day devices. A complete cycle of giving back!
