Founded Charm in 2001

Aoki founded Charm in 2001 after seeing the lack of access to medical care for foreigners living in Japan who had serious health problems access to medical care.

Provides medical information

She felt the need to create an organization that could provide health and medical information to foreigners in Japan and act quickly to support them when they needed to go to a hospital.

Shifted activities online

She also said that since the coronavirus pandemic, some of Charm’s activities have shifted to online methods through which anyone can join in and help remotely.

Expanded support services

Although Charm was originally set up to help people with HIV and AIDS, in recent years it has expanded its support to people with other infectious diseases, including tuberculosis.
