Take Action

SVA provides various ways to support children’s learning from Japan. Examples include the production of translated picture books that we send to children and the purchase of hand-crafted goods made by the people in the regions where we work: these kinds of activities help get books into the hands of children.

Your donations will support children's learning and foster their ability to live.

Donation
We are asking for donations to help us provide children in Asia with opportunities to read books and a safe place to read. Even a single picture book can foster children’s ability to know and imagine, and give them a chance to learn.

Fairtrade Project (Craft Aid)
Craft Aid is a fair-trade business operated by SVA in which women from ethnic minorities, poor farming villages, and slums make goods by hand, which we buy and then sell at fair prices. The fair wage helps to support these women’s lives, as well as preserve traditions, culture, and techniques.
