【JPN Relief-18】Oakwood Tokyo Lends Support to Habitat
Donate to Help Japan Rebuild!
Oakwood Serviced Apartments, the world's leading provider of furnished and serviced corporate apartments and residences, is providing assistance to Habitat for Humanity's 'Rebuilding Japan' program, supporting those badly affected by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11th.
Oakwood has donated one serviced apartment at Oakwood Residence Aoyama in Tokyo to house Habitat for Humanity staff leading the 'Rebuilding Japan' program over the next year, worth an estimated 10.5m Japanese Yen (US$130,000) in value.
"The scale of the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami means we now have more staff in Tokyo coordinating the disaster response program. The provision of this serviced apartment will mean that we can keep operational costs low and help more people whose lives were washed away earlier this year," said Kelly Koch, Habitat for Humanity regional program manager for northeast Asia.
"Oakwoood in Tokyo is very pleased with having this opportunity to collaborate with Habitat for Humanity in providing the support of their housing needs while they are making their effort for much needed work in recovery of the Tohoku region." said Eric Ishimaru, Director of Sales & Marketing for Oakwood in Tokyo.
This most recent contribution by Oakwood Tokyo builds upon the long-term relationship with Habitat for Humanity Japan.
Oakwood has also offered the use of 'The Residents' Lounge' at Oakwood Premier Tokyo Midtown as a venue for fundraising events.
