“I want to go clean up my house since it hasn’t been touched since the earthquake.” 

“I want to prepare to move into temporary housing.” 

“I want to go and take care of graves.”

More than four months have passed since the disaster and water supply continues to be cut off in some areas, and some people continue to live as evacuees from their homes in Kanazawa and surrounding areas. One of the common struggles the communities raised is the lack of transportation.

In response to these requests, BIG UP Ishinomaki began providing transportation support in April. BIG UP Ishinomaki is a Civic Force’s partner organization through NPO Partner Project. Since BIG UP Ishinomaki started their ride service, they have provided 45 trips for 73 people. 

Many of the people who used the transportation service had their cars damaged in the disaster, had surrendered their driver's licenses due to their age, or they had no means of transportation, 

BIG UP Ishinomaki was established after the Great East Japan Earthquake and has supported communities impacted by various disasters ever since. They have been providing various support with other aid organizations including soup kitchens, relief item distributions, portable showers and laundry booths.
