Our chosen charity, YouMeWe NPO, educates children living in care in Japan, giving them employable skills for a better start in adult life (see below). KIWL is hugely indebted to its participants, sponsors, supporters and volunteers, who together have raised Y81,700,000 (USD785,575/GBP592,000) since our humble beginnings in 2013".

LATEST NEWS:
Due to the cancellation of our annual 500km ride, one of our intrepid riders, Andrew Abbey undertook to cycle from the northern tip of Japan to its southern most point on the mainland. He finally arrived at his destination after 6 weeks and over 4,000kms later, exhausted but elated! The standard is set!
We also had to cancel our annual run to a kids home in Kawagoe, but instead our KIWL Go-Go Virtual Run was a great success in November, with over 80 participants who raised Y536,000 for kids in care. See our 'Go-Go' Run page for more details.
The Y14,712,000 so far received from sponsors and donors in 2020 is with our chosen charity YouMeWe NPO and already benefiting the children in care it serves.
Thank you so much for your support and we hope all our participants, volunteers, followers and their families have a peaceful holiday season and come through this challenging time safely and healthily. Roll on 2021!

KIWL'S AWSOME 2020 SPONSORS
We are most fortunate to have the support of many firms. Their donations go directly to our chosen charity, ensuring disadvantaged children have opportunities which otherwise are not afforded to them. The needs of kids in care do not diminish and the sponsors' support is particularly appreciated at this challenging time.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY:
YouMeWe educates care home children, giving them employable skills for adult life. Click on the logo for the 3-minute video to be inspired by their work and the smiling faces they produce. They offer support programs to allow a child to become a productive and independent young adult in their community. They develop language skills, financial literacy, programming and coding ability, and can access career counselling and higher education options as well as post-care support. Attained skills, improved communication, and a career path understanding give the kids confidence and a dream of a brighter future. The kids also give back themselves by educating the elderly in their communities in the use of modern day devices. A complete cycle of giving back! www.youmewenpo.org
