Background
In Japan, 1 in 7 children in a school class is in a state of relative poverty, and many children cannot get enough food due to economic reasons. Especially during long holidays when there are no school lunches, the burden of providing meals at home increases, raising concerns about children's malnutrition and eating alone.
To address such social issues, KFP operates "Kodomo Gochimeshi," which allows children in economically difficult situations to eat at local restaurants, tackling the problems of children eating alone and poverty. We recently received donations from the Japan Motorboat Racing Association and its affiliated racers who sympathized with this activity.
