Certified NPO Learning for All (Location: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hyeong-Shik Lee; hereinafter "LFA") has received a donation from Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC, aimed at supporting children facing difficulties in Japan.
This donation will be utilized as funding to support LFA's overall child support activities, including the practice and dissemination of community-collaborative comprehensive child support, and strengthening the foundation for sustainable organizational management.
LFA's mission is to "fundamentally solve child poverty." We promote learning support and the creation of safe spaces for children facing difficulties, as well as building systems within communities to support children. We aim to realize a society where children can live, learn, and grow safely within the communities they are born and raised in, developing activities from two perspectives: providing support tailored to each child and building community-wide systems to support children. Furthermore, we are building a network with child support organizations nationwide, advancing awareness-raising, human resource development, and policy advocacy activities. This donation serves as significant encouragement for the continuous and stable promotion of these initiatives.

About Learning for All
Social Issues LFA Addresses
In Japan, there are children facing difficulties due to various circumstances such as poverty, school refusal, and abuse. Difficulties are rarely limited to one issue; multiple challenges often overlap. As a result, some children do not sufficiently receive the "nurturing environment," "learning," and "connections" necessary for healthy development.
However, these difficulties are often hard to see from the outside, and each child's background differs. This makes it difficult to connect them to appropriate support, and in some cases, the situation may become serious before it is noticed.
About LFA's Initiatives
To fundamentally solve these issues, LFA is engaged in the following three businesses, operating in a cycle of "modeling at the front lines ~ expanding cases through intermediary support ~ systematizing through policy proposals."
1. "One-on-One Support" Business
Practicing "community-collaborative comprehensive child support" through creating safe spaces, learning support, meal support, parent support, and home visit support, providing seamless support from an early stage until children aged 6-18 become independent.
2. "Spreading the System" Business
Based on practical knowledge cultivated so far, promoting know-how tailored to private organizations, local governments, and supporters.
