◇ Comments from Masayuki Tsuchiya, Representative Director of Fujinokuni Mirai Foundation
"This grant project aims to support disaster recovery, not just 'restoration' after the disaster, but also long-term regional economic regeneration. Until now, support that directly focused on each working individual who has continuously sustained the region has not been sufficient. This project encourages business reconstruction and new challenges as a form of 'unprecedented support.' The power of the people who work, live, and drive the economy in the region is the driving force for recovery. Through this support, we hope to contribute to the regeneration of a sustainable regional economy."
◇ Comments from Kenji Harada, Kansai/Chubu Area General Manager of NN Life
"NN Life has been engaged with Japanese SMEs for 40 years, supporting their activities. In recent years, as natural disasters have occurred one after another, we are deeply saddened by the situation of affected regions and businesses. As a native of Shizuoka Prefecture myself, I do not regard the damage suffered by my hometown as someone else's problem. With the desire to provide even a little support to businesses and organizations in Shizuoka Prefecture, who are the drivers of the regional economy, we have established the 'NN Life Disaster Recovery Support Fund.' We hope that this fund will help restart economic activities in affected areas, revitalize the region, and lead to the creation of disaster-resilient towns that not only recover but also prepare for future disasters."
