Our best wishes to the fishermen of Watari-cho, Miyagi, Japan! Survivors of the 2011 tsunami are reaining their livelihood thanks to partnership with Food for the Hungry (japan and Canada) and the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada.
These fishermen/women lost everything because of the tsunami- homes, boats, nets, equipment- and to make things worse, readiation from the collapsed Fukushima Dai ichi nucleawr power plant has forced restrictions on almost all types of private and commercial fishing. But, they are allowed to fish sardines.

Helping them make the switch to sardine fishing, these families have been provided new, specialized nets, floats, ballasts and more to get them back on the water and proud to be providing for their families once again.
