In 2022, sisters Haruka Kodama and Miyu Kodama, originally from Hiroshima and now residing in the United States, launched the project “The Path to Peace (TPTP).” This initiative aims to welcome Ukrainian refugees to Hiroshima and support them from obtaining visas to finding housing and employment, ensuring their path to an independent life.

We at EARTH Hiroshima have been moved by their meaningful activities and their proactive involvement, engaging various individuals and corporations even as students. Consequently, we are supporting them in PR activities.

 

In September 2022, the project saw its first successful reception of Ukrainian refugees!
