GET FIT & GIVE BACK WITH K.I.W.L!
KIWL 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, 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.
Our short video below (courtesy of Custom Media) encapsulates who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

KIWL'S CHOSEN CHARITY IN 2019:
Our 2019 charity YouMeWe educates care home children in IT giving them employable skills for adult life. Click on logo. 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. KIWL helps fund the 'Digital Citizen Classes' giving kids the opportunity to learn IT skills.
BREAKING NEWS: Y8.1 million RAISED this year so far!
Through generous corporate sponsorship of the KIWL cycling jersey, and individual donors as well as fringe events, KIWL has raised Y8,138,000 in 2019 to date. It also means KIWL has surpassed Y60 million in total funds raised (US$546,000) since we were silly enough to embark on a long-distance bike ride back in 2013!
We have been busy in April with over 100 people of all ages completing the 5km walk around the Imperial Palace raising Y545,000. Motorcyclists also gathered for a tour & BBQ, raising a further Y125,000. We also held the 2nd KIWL Futsal Cup to raise funds for FC Esperanza, who coach soccer to kids & adults with cerebral palsy. Recruiting company S-Three emerged as winners, Boyd Moore Executive Search claiming the Plate tournament.
