Furunavi has begun accepting donations to a crowdfunding project in Ichikawa Misato Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, which aims to continue providing free medical care for children under the declared state of financial emergency.

https://fcf.furunavi.jp/Project/Detail?projectid=474) 《Summary of support》
Currently, the financial management of Ichikawa Misato Town is extremely difficult, and if things continue as they are, we are in a situation where we could face financial bankruptcy in the near future. It is expected that it will be difficult to provide truly necessary administrative services with the same fiscal management as before. One of the reasons why the town’s finances are suffering is that although the number of facilities operated by the town and
administrative services (expenses) remain the same, tax revenues (income) are decreasing due to population decline and aging. Furthermore, social security-related expenses are also a heavy expense, making financial management extremely difficult.
In order to sustainably provide administrative services into the future, drastic and intensive efforts toward fiscal soundness are essential, and a state of fiscal emergency was declared in September 2023.

Rigid spending
Among these efforts, Ichikawa Misato Town in Yamanashi Prefecture has been subsidizing the medical expenses covered by insurance for children under the age of 18 (free of charge at the counter). Although we are in a difficult financial situation, this initiative is a necessary and important “expenditure” for “creating a town where children can be raised with peace of mind.”
We ask for your support for the sake of children’s smiles and the future. [Image 4
