    Brand Background‌:
    Yakimoto: The Frozen Mission - A Global Fight for Survival Since 1979

    Historical Anchor: WHO’s "Cold Chain Initiative"
    In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched humanity’s largest vaccine transport operation—shipping 4 million doses of smallpox vaccine from Geneva to Somalia, the final outbreak zone in Africa. With temperatures soaring to 122°F (50°C) and no reliable electricity, traditional refrigeration units failed mid-transit, jeopardizing millions of dollars’ worth of lifesaving vaccines.

    At Addis Ababa Airport, Japanese engineer Hayato Yakimoto made a desperate gamble: he stripped aluminum panels from the cargo plane’s hull and rigged a makeshift insulated container using titanium climbing carabiners from his gear. Drawing on alpine thermal preservation techniques, he maintained the vaccines’ integrity through the final leg to Mogadishu, ultimately enabling the WHO to declare smallpox eradicated in 1980.
