SWU Japan - Our Mission

Who we are:
Stand with Ukraine Japan is a movement born in Tokyo, Japan, after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. We are registered Non-Profit organization in Japan (一般社団法人Stand With Ukraine Japan)

From day one of Ukraine’s invasion, Ukrainian nationals (and their friends of different nationalities) living and working in Tokyo came together to help relieve the devastating situation in Ukraine.

We are ordinary people of different backgrounds, who are bringing together our knowledge and efforts to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty and thrive as an independent state.
