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, social nights, something for everyone! Give yourself a few minutes to watch our video!
Funds raised benefit YouMeWe NPO, improving the lives of abused & neglected children living in care in Japan, giving them greater hope of successful outcomes in adult life through digital education (see below). Thanks to corporate & individual sponsors and participants, KIWL has raised Y62.6 million (US$595,000/GBP485,000) since 10 middle-aged men in lycra cycled 270kms for tsunami survivors in 2013. |

MORE 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!
