About This Donation

Through our support activities for students during the COVID-19 pandemic, we identified a "hidden" group of students who are unable to receive financial assistance from guarantors or relatives due to various circumstances. Many of these students struggle to cover even their basic daily living expenses.

To address this ongoing need, we have extended our support program beyond the pandemic period. Our goal is to alleviate the financial and psychological burdens on students facing economic instability, ensuring they can continue their studies with peace of mind. We provide emergency grants of up to 50,000 yen per student to help cover essential living costs.

Recognizing that this aid is for those in urgent need, we have designed a streamlined system to ensure that funds are delivered as quickly as possible—from the initial application to the final disbursement

We sincerely ask for your generous cooperation and support in helping these students navigate their hardships.
