Goal 8 Target 7 of the SDGs states to end all forms of child labor by 2025, but there are 160 million child laborers in the world (estimated by ILO and others, announced in 2022). There is a harsh current situation. In Ghana, where Japan imports
approximately 70% of its cacao, there are 770,000 child laborers engaged in agricultural work such as cacao harvesting and
transportation. Of these, 710,000 children (92%) are engaged in hazardous work such as spraying pesticides. (From the 2020 University of Chicago NORC research report)

To address the issue of child labor, which deprives children of their rights, we provide support to children, families, and communities working in child labor, while also collaborating with businesses and governments to create a social structure that does not generate child labor. In recognition of our efforts to date, we received the SDGs Promotion Headquarters Director (Prime Minister) Award at the 6th Japan SDGs Awards in 2023. In recent years, he has also been working on promoting children’s rights in Japan
