Use of donations（Planned）

To Provide Environmental Education That Leaving No One Behind

Spending time playing freely in nature is essential for nurturing children’s sensitivity and Sense of Wonder..
At the same time, it also provides important restorative benefits for adults, such as reducing stress and promoting well-being.

However, due to various circumstances—including household financial situations and the demands of busy daily lives—many people feel that, it is difficult to have opportunities to interact with nature.
Not only economic factors, but also less visible barriers, such as limited time, emotional capacity, or mental space.

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy nature-based experiences, regardless of their age, disability, family circumstances, or where they live.
Through the generous donations we have received from everyone, we aim to increase opportunities for people to interact with nature and create an environment where experiences with nature are not only seen as ‘special, ‘ but can also felt as an ordinary and natural part of daily life.

So, amid for “to provide environmental education that ensure no one is left behind”,
we provide opportunities for nature experiences and healing to children and adults who face difficulties, challenges, and worries in their daily lives.

• Providing nature experiences and experiential learning opportunities for children from single-parent households, low-income households, children battling serious illnesses, and children with disabilities.
• Providing opportunities for healing through nature for adults struggling in a stressful society.
• Holding training programs for leaders and symposiums to expand the circle of “to provide environmental education that ensure no one is left behind.”
