About Support

We Need Your Help in International Cooperation

ARI has been maintained through generous assistance and donations by supporting organizations and individuals from all over the world. Japanese pay tuition, but we don't charge anything to overseas participants.

There is always a need for material and financial supports. Your contribution to ARI will help rural people in developing countries to greatly improve their lives.
