SHARE

Welcome to SHARE

SHARE began as an international health NGO in 1983, providing emergency assistance to famine-stricken people in Ethiopia. Since then, we have continued to provide primary health care, aiming to promote the self-reliance and health of local people, in Cambodia, Thailand, South Africa, Timor-Leste, and Japan. One of SHARE's distinctive features is that, in addition to our work overseas, we have also continued to support foreigners in Japan, working to help those who are at risk of being left behind. Thanks to the generous support of many people, we celebrated our 40th anniversary this August. Among these countries, some, like Thailand, have experienced economic growth, allowing health workers who have worked with us to provide health care in their own countries. In Cambodia and Timor-Leste, maternal and child mortality rates have also decreased. At the same time, however, the poor continue to get poorer, and in some areas, the situation continues to worsen. Furthermore, the world is suffering from two disasters: the infectious disease disaster of the coronavirus pandemic and the war disaster in Ukraine. It is at times like these that SHARE's work for "Health for All" is even more important. SHARE continues its "support activities" for mothers and children in Timor-Leste and Cambodia, as well as for foreigners living in Japan who are suffering. We appreciate your continued support.
