NPO Keiten Aijinkai, which operates the Employment Support B-type facility 'Poppo' (Location: Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture), has achieved its crowdfunding goal of 1.5 million yen to revive 'Peking Tei', a local Chinese restaurant that was beloved by the community but had closed. With warm support from 94 individuals, the project is now fully launched towards opening a restaurant where members with disabilities can work with pride. Additionally, with the launch of this project, they are beginning to recruit new users (members) who will be involved in store operations and original goods production.
■ Background and Report on Project Achievement
'Employment Support B-type Poppo' launched the 'Peking Tei' revival project to create 'work that connects with society and instills pride,' rather than just simple tasks, after the restaurant regrettably closed in the local area.
With a small team of 3 staff members and the president, they painstakingly and persistently visited local communities and related organizations. As a result, they received substantial support totaling 1,597,000 yen (106% achievement rate) from 94 individuals. The average support amount per supporter was approximately 16,500 yen, indicating the serious commitment of each individual to this challenge.
Furthermore, this project was selected among the top 11 in the final selection from 11,408 applications nationwide in the '#KanaetaiYume' Project, organized by Sawakami Asset Management Co., Ltd., which operates the independent investment trust 'Sawakami Fund.' We interpret this as social recognition for a new model combining welfare and business succession.
The collected funds will be carefully utilized for store renovation costs and equipment investment to create a safe working environment for members.
■ Future Schedule
Currently, store renovation and the establishment of an operational system are underway. Progress towards the opening will be updated on the official website and other channels.
