Citizens towards Overseas Disaster Emergency

We thankfully had a huge support from over 70 countries when the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake hit Kobe in 17th January 1995. 'KOBE', which means all of the affected areas by the Earthquake, would like to share the experience to the next affected areas in the world with this keyword, 'to help one another when s/he is at the difficult time'.

CODE (Citizens towards Overseas Disaster Emergency ) was launched in 17th January 2002 as a Non-Profit Organization to be a place for citizens including companies, public administration, interntional organizations, research groups and NGOs with a lot of knowledge and skills.

We had about 60 projects including the time we were the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake Locan NGO Rescue Liaison Conference which was the predecessor of CODE. We always stand by the principle 'til the last one', to reconstruct people through standing by them and associating with them.
