JAL Group extends its deep condolences to the people affected by the earthquake on April 25, 2015 which has caused major damage in Nepal.
To assist the effort for quick recovery, we also ask for cooperation to JMB members to support the people in the affected areas by this earthquake through Charity Mile.
Announcement of final donated miles
As of October 23, 2015
| 3,555,000miles | Enabling support to deliver 150 solar lights and 100 water filters. |
Kopernik is a NPO that undertakes activities for "Connecting country to country," "Environmental conservation," "Improving sanitation and health in developing countries," (Safety and Security) and "Improving children's lives and expanding the opportunity to study" (Nurturing the next generation). These activities also resonate with the CSR activities of the JAL Group. Since 2013, we have been engaged in the Connecting People to People, Bridging Japan and the World Project to expand the impact of such activities through collaboration.
Considering the devastated situation caused by the Nepal Earthquake, JAL will support this year's Kopernik's activities by donating 200 solar lights to the victims of this earthquake.

The need for Water Filters and Solar Lights which can also be used as a "rechargeable mobile phone charger" is increasing in the devastated area affected by the Nepal Earthquake.
