CONNECT ·2021 Grants ChallengeThe Jizo Foundation Memorial Grieving Site Project - Connecting with individuals and families to provide social and emotional support and healing following the loss of an infant at or prior to birth.
The Jizo Foundation was established to heal and support those who are grieving the loss of a baby at birth or before, through the creation of grieving spaces in public parks or gardens, where individuals and families can visit to mourn their loss. Modeled on an ancient and very popular Japanese tradition, our goal is to bring together community, foster understanding about this neglected population, and provide social, emotional and mental health support to thousands of women through connection, volunteerism, and community events.
