Takatori Community Center Web site is a portal site for non-profit organizations home pages which offices are located inside the Takatori Community Center compound.

Takatori Comunity Center, whose predecessor "Takatori Support Base," was the center of Takatori Catholic Church's volunteer work after the Great Hanshi-Awaji Earthquake of 1995, is in an area where 10% of the residents are of foreign nationality. As time passed, the activities of the center evolved from those of providing emergency support to those of a center for groups active in multi-cultural coexistence activities.

The Center is made up of a network of 7 groups involved in working to create a new community where people with different languages, cultures, races, nationalities, etc. can live together as equals.

While each group works in its own specialty field - providing information in various languages, education, IT related activities, working with the elderly, helping handicapped people be independent, activities in the foreign residents' community (foreign residents' self-help) - at the same time, there has been an increase in the number of projects in which the groups have shared their knowledge and personnel.

As the NPO / NGO community continues to develop its independent activities, the form of the Takatori Community Center as a single organization network which functions flexibly has been created and developed by its members who are involved in various activities making use of the their special talents and their cooperation with each other.
