Empowering 10 Youth Without Family Support to Become Cleaning Professionals: 'Sankaku-Clear' Crowdfunding Launches June 1st

The non-profit organization Sankakusha (Location: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Arai) has launched a crowdfunding campaign on the platform READYFOR, starting June 1, 2026, with a target of 3 million yen to expand its cleaning business, 'Sankaku-Clear,' which provides employment support for youth who cannot rely on parents or other adults. Approximately 300,000 yen is required for the education and mentoring of each youth. While four youths are currently working in the field, the organization is launching this campaign to welcome 10 new participants. The funds will cover training costs, cleaning agents, and equipment. Sankakusha provides comprehensive support, including safe spaces, housing, and employment assistance for youth aged 15-25. A 2025 survey revealed that while 80% of these youths want to work, 60% are held back by anxiety regarding interpersonal relationships. 'Sankaku-Clear' is a service where youth, trained by professionals, provide high-quality cleaning using specialized equipment. With the cooperation of A-Company LLC, 38 house cleaning jobs have been completed as of May 2026. The site manager, Naoto Nakajima, is a former beneficiary of Sankakusha who now provides technical and mental support to the youth. Through cleaning work, these young people gain a sense of accomplishment and rebuild their self-esteem and social connections. This crowdfunding project aims to build a training system that allows youth to gain experience with peace of mind through six months of training and on-site support.
