Impact of the Concert
Throughout the evening, $50 will be donated for every song performed—equating to the cost of vaccinating five children— and an additional $100 for each concert attendee, reflecting a commitment to making a real difference. Moreover, attendees will find donation boxes set up in the venue, encouraging everyone to participate in this charitable cause...
Importance of Vaccination
Vaccines play a critical role in saving lives, especially in developing nations where nearly
4,000 children die daily from preventable infectious diseases like polio, tuberculosis, and whooping cough. Tragically, these diseases can be avoided with vaccination, yet every 20 seconds, a child succumbs to such illnesses. The JCV has been pivotal in addressing this crisis, delivering over
133 million vaccines since its inception in 1994, ensuring children have a fighting chance at life. In 2024 alone, JCV provided vaccines valued at over
¥1.2 billion to various countries including Myanmar, Laos, Bhutan, and Vanuatu.
With a founding mission to protect children's lives and futures through vaccination, JCV operates as a trusted private international support organization collaborating with UNICEF and health ministries. Priced affordably—usually between
¥20 and
¥280 per vaccine—accessible vaccinations serve as a beacon of hope.
