Why we are here


After the World War II,

there was years when Japanese people were starving,

and lacking very basics.

But, today

we eat enough to survive.

We can afford basic necessities enough to go though the daily life.

We have enough chances to open several ways for the future.

These could not be achieved by Japan alone.

In fact, Japan and Japanese people received a great deal of contribution

from all over the world during the hard time.

So,

We, TAF focus on south-east Asia, and our activities are based in Philippine.

The conservation of nature is impossible without support.

The gap in the amount of resource we use has to be equal.

 

The second answer

A single activity would not be very effective.

For example, planting trees sometimes fails to preserve the environment.

Why the poor stays poor?

Because those who are able to make a change are not concerned with others.

In any group like a family, a social community, NGOs, corporations, a country, all the same principle.

Poverty also brings some other problems which are common in many developing countries.

There will be no change as long as enormous investment is used just to increase profits of a few investors.

Human development is necessary to eradicate poverty.

It is TAF's business to find the real cause of poverty, and to suggest another place to invest on.
