Cranes By Kids, LLC is a not-for-profit volunteer group started by a third-grader in response to the 2011 Japan disasters and kids' desire to help. We want to help heal the Japanese hearts, minds, and bodies while educating kids of all ages in the power of individual contribution.

Groups across the Country are organizing to make origami cranes that they gather with small donations to send to us. Cranes have been a symbol of hope for the Japanese for centuries. We will send the cranes and donations to existing relief organizations at work in Japan. Get together with your class, school, sports team, family, or youth group to make a difference in your life and countless lives in Japan.
