【Fundraising Program Launched to Support Humanitarian Aid for People Displaced from Ukraine】

A fundraising program was launched on March 15 in MUJI's online fundraising system to support humanitarian aid for people displaced from Ukraine. For every donation gathered through this online fundraising program, Ryohin Keikaku will match yen for yen, and sent to the "Response to Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis 2022" Program of Japan Platform, an international emergency humanitarian aid organization.

※About Kids Earth Fund

Since its establishment, Kids Earth Fund has sponsored and carried out distribution of art supplies, picture books, and more donations for children throughout the world who suffer from the results of war, poverty and environmental contamination. It puts most effort on supporting children's mental health by art, allowing children to express their inner feelings. Ryohin Keikaku agrees with the idea and activities of Kids Earth Fund. Since 2014, we have been donating a portion of the sales of "My Bag with Children's Paintings" to Kids Earth Fund, and has continued to support its activities through MUJI's Online Fundraising System.
