Pinatto is a non-profit organization based in Mitaka, Tokyo offering support to families with multicultural backgrounds. We go beyond race and nationality to focus on creating a place in which everyone can live comfortably. This is a place where parents and children from other countries can learn to live peacefully in Japan through our support and advice that we offer on daily life and childrearing. 

 

Full name: Partnership with International Neighbors and Tomodachi (Pinatto)

Representative: Kuniko Yamada

 

Organization status: Private organization

 

Founded: January 1992.

 

Organization history:

After a volcanic eruption in the Philippines, students from a nearby college and people from Hachinoko Nursery School came together and started Musashino Network for Pinatubo Rehabilitation (MNPR)
with the goal of creating an international organization on the local level to facilitate cultural exchange face-to-face.  After this, we expanded to offer support for people from other countries living in the area, including intercultural education classes. In May of 2015, we began to focus on activities that support international residents and changed the name of the organization to Partnership with International Neighbors and Tomodachi (Pinatto).

Our mission:

Pinatto goes beyond race and nationality to focus on creating a place in which everyone can live comfortably.
