Arigato Blueprint

ABOUT

Arigato Blueprint is supporting communities and institutions that are in need of help in the disaster areas in Japan, post the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear reactor accident.

It will be the voice of the people in the disaster regions and will show the people who support this project where their donations are being put to use via our website, live feeds and onsite events.

On behalf of the supporters and donors, Arigato Blueprint will start its activities firstly by collaborating with the communities and local authorities. Events will take place to thank all aid workers and people who have contributed in helping the people affected by this natural disaster and ongoing nuclear reactor issue.

It will then continue its activities onsite by providing consultation and workshops geared towards communities, businesses, aid workers and local governments to identify their specific needs. It will provide management and communication necessary in rebuilding the communities.

The visions of the people living in the disaster regions will be presented by Arigato Blueprint, through our website, events and other media tools.

In the long term, our vision is to provide a new socio-economic blueprint for an alternative and sustainable community.
