Vision and Mission

Our Initiatives

 


Medical Aid

Support for Ukraine – March 2022
At just 10 years old, the young founder launched an art project to support Ukraine.
He called on children across Japan to create artwork and take part in the initiative.
Together, they raised over 500 million yen worth of medical supplies, which were delivered to the people of Ukraine along with other essential goods.



Disaster Relief

Since March 2011 – Support for the Great East Japan Earthquake and Noto Earthquake Recovery
With over 15 years of experience in disaster relief, we have been dedicated to supporting communities devastated by earthquakes.
Currently, a film project is underway to support the recovery of the Noto Peninsula, featuring Wajima-nuri, a traditional lacquerware craft of Wajima City.
Through this project, we aim to share the beauty of the Noto region with the world and support the development of a smart city in harmony with nature.



Infrastructure Support

Since March 2017 – National Projects and Infrastructure Development
We support projects that improve water quality in areas affected by war and provide electricity to communities without access to power.
By installing solar panels on hospital rooftops, we help build stable medical systems in regions where power outages are frequent.
We also participate in national-level projects, offering comprehensive support from funding to the development of SDGs-based initiatives.

Film Project

The WORLD HIKARI Project is exploring new forms of support through entertainment, including a film project for the recovery of the Noto Peninsula. By showcasing these works on global stages, we are promoting a model of support that does not rely on donations.
