Shapla Neer volunteers and cash for work workers (tsunami survivors) at a Shapla Neer project location.

Direct Relief has supported Shapla Neer with cash grants to fund earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster relief and recovery efforts.

 

Shapla Neer began its relief activities shortly after the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in March 2011. Funding from Direct Relief was used by Shapla Neer to support activities in Fukushima Prefecture on the border of the nuclear evacuation zone, where the threat of radiation contamination led to delays in providing supplies and assistance, isolating citizens.

 

Shapla Neer focused services on people living in temporary housing and those living in or near the evacuation area with poor access to services.
