Also, last fiscal year, we provided material support such as groceries to a total of about 7,000 impoverished households raising children. Donations from charity runners will be carefully utilized for food support to such families and for children's learning and advancement support. Please become a charity runner for Kidsdoor and support the growth and future of children with us!

We operate place-based study sessions in Tokyo and its suburbs, Miyagi, and Kobe for elementary to high school students and high school dropouts from impoverished families, providing free study sessions, study support, and daily life support such as meals. From 2020, when the number of impoverished families raising children rapidly increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we created a system called "Family Support," providing information support, food and stationery support, and employment support for guardians to registered families raising children nationwide.
