Over 100 supporters have endorsed their vision, allowing the fund to surpass $100,000 in just a few years. 5% of the Fund’s value is donated to ARI each year as scholarships for rural leaders. https://www.afari.net/donate daily 0.75 2021-03-16 https://www.afari.net/home daily 1.0 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1587697338230-CKPQU0YLVVZC7HCQCE61/Takami-History-02.jpg Home - “We are investing in persons who will dedicate their whole life to sustain life for the future. I think it’s a valid investment, and a lasting investment, in persons who will work as leaders for the people.” — Rev. Dr. Tom Takami, Founder of ARI https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1587695629820-VQRITTO47W037RG9KNW4/8472162411_6ed17669c9_c.jpg Home - Foodlife At the core of the Rural Leaders Training Program is the concept of Foodlife. Encompassing more than just producing food to alleviate hunger, Foodlife emphasizes the value of sharing healthy food sustainably. It stresses the importance of making the best use of locally available resources and leads toward the development of vibrant self-reliant communities. Together, staff, participants and volunteers produce most of the food consumed on the ARI campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1587695776832-UCGZM8SKR7M3YIH3WODG/11944532206_b9a35d2a16_c.jpg Home - Community of Learning ARI runs the Rural Leaders Training Program annually on its campus in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Approximately 20 leaders participate each year from many countries globally. Because their talents and home-community needs shift the curriculum each year, ARI refers to them as “participants” in the life of the school, rather than as students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1587695811974-LT0CRH9TJ9EG5LY8E3OH/11944136664_63cfc08259_c.jpg Home - Servant Leadership The Asian Rural Institute practices servant leadership, which calls for a life of sharing with people from around the world. Everyone participates equally in all aspects of running the school and farm, approaching daily life, chores and work as part of community life. Servant leadership inspires ARI’s motto, “that we may live together.” https://www.afari.net/mission-history daily 0.75 2024-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1595107906683-Z67CTJMSGI866DDDNSV1/Screen+Shot+2020-07-18+at+4.31.17+PM.png Mission & History https://www.afari.net/aripublications daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1643907125312-XVM1Z1QCGZJ2U287W61A/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-07-26%2Bat%2B8.49.05%2BPM.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand, Winter 2021-2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1659989861832-1QCQJKOTPC1XGZCJFG9I/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-09-17%252Bat%252B10.19.18%252BPM.jpg ARI Publications ARI Annual Report 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1595814524392-NMRSPG1OEDDO5HOAUM3K/Screen+Shot+2020-07-26+at+8.48.33+PM.png ARI Publications Take My Hand, Winter 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1600399414452-NPGARIS03R8GGREFPHER/Screen+Shot+2020-09-17+at+10.23.24+PM.png ARI Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1595815133453-E6VHM26SEI6FGW7KWE4G/Screen+Shot+2020-07-26+at+8.58.38+PM.png ARI Publications Take My Hand, Summer 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/fde62af5-ccb4-4d38-967b-4537fa4a7c33/ARI+2020+Annual+Report+EN+final1_Page_01.jpg ARI Publications ARI Annual Report 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/6c7cccce-fd73-4be0-aa86-a259fed716f4/Take+my+hand+winter+2020+cover.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Winter 2020-2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/7d982bc7-4bc4-46f5-ace2-e90cda3f183e/Image+p1+cmyk+Annual+Report+EN+2021+PRINT_Page_01.jpg ARI Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1643907209097-179SFTM9QCKBAKJNPTO3/Summer%2B2021%2BTMH%2Bcover_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications TMH Summer 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/79ff518e-2c4e-427f-a7fa-688308e72a8a/Copy+of+PhotoRoaster+2023EN_online_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications ARI 2023 Participants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/b01a3854-b884-4973-bbf1-6d86c39bd167/2022+Winter+TMHfirstpage_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications TMH Winter 2021-2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/ca7d4563-77cb-4670-bf24-0d8118d74f83/cmyk+Annual+Report+EN+2023+d3-1_Page_01.jpg ARI Publications ARI Annual Report 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/7539a953-5496-46bb-b485-1d212bb454e4/TMH+22+draft+%23+2_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications TMH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/f8e22f33-1c84-4551-a84e-07ef8d2e6fc3/cmyk+Annual+Report+2024+EN+print_Page_01.jpg ARI Publications ARI 2024 Annual Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/14a8c64b-eb9d-475e-8373-62e48628621a/Online+Take+My+Hand+Fall+2022+online_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Fall 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/a76726e5-4906-4df3-981d-3bdb8cb37273/cmyk+Take+My+Hand+2023+Spring+online-1_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Spring 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/6a3ad3d6-47e8-4399-bfa7-6dff7c690801/cmyk+Take+My+Hand+2023+Autumn+online_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Autumn 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/f56b0cfe-4ae5-4e4e-8dcc-a636d5ad2d42/cmyk+Take+My+Hand+2024+Spring+v5_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Spring 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/a60d9223-5ce9-43c8-baf7-3c4840e77998/Take+My+Hand+2024+Summer+online_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Summer 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/4dd7d48c-ca06-41b8-9ba9-d4c7e7ae030b/AFARI+Impact+Report+FINAL+DRAFT-2_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications AFARI Impact Report https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/6a02c23e-0de6-47e6-bf92-85b49ba9c2a5/cmyk+Take+My+Hand+2025+Spring+online-1_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications Take My Hand Spring 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/a99d314e-8465-4efb-b4f7-95828d287169/cmyk+Take+My+Hand+2025+Summer+online-1_Page_1.jpg ARI Publications https://www.afari.net/boardstaff daily 0.75 2024-12-19 https://www.afari.net/legacy-gifts daily 0.75 2024-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea2374256dec8478d70f6e2/1595808187701-4T6LOR283GEFSK5BBM1V/Aro%2BHa_0393.jpg Legacy Gifts - More than 1400 graduates in the first half century.
