In 2006, Project HOPE Japan changed its name to PH-Japan Foundation, after gaining independence from Project HOPE. During the past years, our core programs have focused on maternal and child health care in South-east Asian countries,　such as Indonesia, Cambodia and Thailand. With funds from private donors and official development assistance from the Government of Japan, PH-Japan Foundation concentrates its efforts on 5 to 7 projects and operates with an annual budget of JPY 100-150 Million.
