What is the 'Kodomo Manpuku Fund'?

It is said that 1 in 9 children in Japan currently live in relative poverty. Furthermore, due to the impact of rising prices, the number of households facing financial hardship is on the rise. Poverty deprives children of various opportunities, including the happiness of eating a delicious meal to their heart's content. The 'Kodomo Manpuku Fund' was established in response to the wishes of donors who want children to eat delicious food and spend happy, childlike times. This fund provides grants for meal support projects for children who cannot get enough to eat due to their upbringing environment. In particular, it supports projects and organizations that provide prompt and direct support to children who need immediate assistance.
