Commemorative photo taken at the closing ceremony after the theme park outing event (company employees and children from Miyashiro Gakuen) What is the social welfare corporation Fukudakai? Founded in 1876 (Meiji 9). We began operating the first children’s care facility in Japan, centered around a temple. The name Fukuden-kai is based on the Buddhist Fukuden philosophy. The company moved to Hiroo, Shibuya-ku in 1910 (Meiji 43), and is scheduled to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2026. Currently, there are 3 facilities and 5 businesses (child care facility, welfare-type residential facility for disabled children, elderly facility / urban low-cost nursing home, group home for elderly people with dementia, designated counseling support office, work continuity support type B, after school, etc.) We operate a day service. What is Miyashiro Gakuen, a welfare-type facility for children with disabilities? Mainly children with intellectual disabilities are admitted. In addition to providing support in daily life, Miyashiro Gakuen is a transit facility, so we also provide support necessary for each child’s characteristics and abilities in preparation for life after graduating from high school. There are eight facilities for children in Tokyo, but this is the only welfare-type facility for children with disabilities in the 23 wards. There are many different reasons for admission. Children are admitted to the facility at the request of their parents or because their need is recognized by relevant organizations such as municipal child guidance centers. Miyashiro Gakuen is divided into male and female dormitory units, and a total of 28 children (as of July 2014), 14 boys and 14 girls, live together. Background of the activity This activity started in 2016, and this year marks its 8th year. Through activities at Miyashiro Gakuen, we believe that by learning about social issues surrounding children with disabilities and actually interacting with children, each employee will be able to increase their understanding of social issues and their desire to contribute, which will lead to further social contributions. I’m thinking. Specifically, we plan and participate in seasonal events such as Christmas and summer festivals several times a year, support out-of-school events such as theme park excursions and Shinkansen rides, and exchange video messages. Scenes from the preliminary exchange meeting held in August At the pre-trip meeting, all participants met to get acquainted with each other in preparation for the trip, which took place in the evening when the children returned from school, and they also had dinner together. At the theme park, we work in groups (2 to 4 children, 2 staff members, and 1 to 2 employees), so each group interacts with the children and looks at photos and maps of the theme park’s attractions and meals while learning about the day’s activities. We made a plan and had the children present.

After dinner, we said goodbye to the children, and each group went over the precautions and division of roles with the facility staff. After meeting with the employees, I read out the employee’s name while looking at a bookmark, and check with the facility staff several times a day while checking the calendar, “How many times do I have to sleep until the day of the theme park trip?” It seems that there were children as well. Facility staff members commented, “It makes me happy to see the children happy not only on the day of the event, but also during the preparation stages.” On the day of September, out-of-school events After gathering at the school and holding a departure ceremony, we took a bus to the theme park, where we did group activities (including lunch and dinner) based on the advance plans made at the pre-exchange meeting. In addition, on the day of the event, we set a goal for each person to work hard on a daily basis toward “living independence,” and if we work together and achieve our goals on the day, we will receive a message and a sticker from our employees saying, “You did it! That was wonderful!” We presented them with a “Done Card” with a message attached to it.

Over the course of the day, we got closer to the children and facility staff, and at the end we were all able to take photos with the biggest smiles on our faces. After that, I helped Miyashiro Gakuen with the payment work and concluded this activity. Participants’
situation/comments ・This was my first big outing after joining Miyashiro Gakuen. Although it was hot that day, we were able to spend the night happily with smiles on our faces. I even hummed the song “It’s a Small World,” which I was able to ride twice. (Children’s condition) ・I am very grateful to see the adults not concentrating on one child, to see teamwork and cooperation, and to see other children having fun as well. Additionally, an employee whose job is to design the ground floor said to me, “I learned how important the ground is by pushing my wheelchair today.” It made me feel warm, too. (Facility staff) ・I felt that coming into contact with children’s pure emotions, such as happiness, fun, and embarrassment, can give us energy, regardless of whether we have a disability or not. We also want to create a community and lifestyle that will bring more smiles to these children’s faces, regardless of their disability. (Employee) The Hoosiers Group will continue to participate in events, social gatherings, and outings at Miyashiro Gakuen to become more familiar with social issues and promote corporate social contribution activities. ​ Hoosiers Group’s efforts to become a social developer Our group has declared that from April 2024, we will contribute to society through our business with the purpose of “becoming a social developer.” In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 and the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, awareness of “mutual assistance” has increased throughout the world. As our company was conducting a redevelopment project in the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, starting from Ishinomaki, we naturally became conscious of contributing to the “local community and society” in addition to pleasing our customers. In 2013, in response to the arrival of a full-fledged aging society, we developed the Duo Seine series of condominiums for seniors. We are proposing new ways of living with the keyword “A condominium that makes you healthy by living in it.” Nowadays, PFI projects provide value and services unique to the private sector, along with administrative outsourcing functions. We have found a way forward from these challenges. We have named companies that respond to change in this way, confront various social issues, and lead to solutions through business as “Social Developers.” In today’s rapidly changing times, in order to continue to be a company that is needed by society, we must play a role that is expected not only by our customers but also by local communities and society. As a “Social Developer(R)”, we will continue to provide unique solutions through our accumulated thoughts and actions to boldly challenge the unknown, and by always identifying the essence of what is truly important. . ■Company profile Name: Hoosiers Holdings Co., Ltd.
