The “Three Elementary School Children’s Festival” is led by the School Management Council and is part of a community school program where local children can enjoy learning and interacting with each other. “It is an extremely difficult challenge for a start-up venture company to raise money to donate to children and educational institutions.However, I feel very rewarding and excited to be able to connect with the community and contribute to the future of children through this project. We will continue to turn local resources into power and continue our support activities.” (Ryuji Maki, Representative Director, Kasama Kids Support Department)

A portion of the sales of “Oen Maron” will be allocated to local educational projects and childcare support, providing funds to enrich the environment in which children grow and increase their options for the future. This project is an initiative in which people from both within and outside the local community can participate through purchases, connecting with the local community and supporting the future of children. With “Ouen Maron” as the first product, we plan to continue to develop support items that utilize local specialties and resources, expanding the circle of sustainable local support. Through community-wide support, the Kasama Kids Support Club continues to take on the challenge of helping the children who will lead the next generation grow up in a better environment.
