Koyamada International Foundation

[1] It has global partnerships with UN agencies and international organizations such as United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNICEF's Education Cannot Wait (ECW), World Karate Federation (WKF), Association of Medical Doctors of Asia (AMDA)[2] and others.

Collaborating with governments, international sports federations, non-governmental organizations, United Nations agencies, and corporations, GGI spearheads specialized projects tailored to specific targets and issues, amplifying its impact and reach.

Its inception traces back to Shin Koyamada, who conceptualized the program during his participation in the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD).

In December 2019, KIF solidified its commitment by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the UNFPA, followed by a collaboration with the World Karate Federation (WKF) in May 2022.

This pioneering project expanded its reach to countries including Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Japan, United States, Ireland and Hungary throughout 2023.

Operating from the initial stages of crisis through recovery phases, KIF's national chapters in Latin America and Africa actively support ECW's mission.

This collaboration empowers AMDA to deliver crucial emergency medical aid to individuals affected by both natural calamities and human-induced disasters across Asia and other regions.

These initiatives aim to empower students across various countries, nurturing a global mindset among the youth and encouraging proactive engagement in creating a better world.

KIF partnered with Sister Cities International (SCI) for bilateral summits, including the Japan-Texas Leadership Symposium in March 2019.
