One in four children in Okinawa lives in poverty.
As we always feel while working with children, even if a child appears normal from the outside, if you take a step closer and get to know them, you'll find that many of them come from impoverished families or have complicated family circumstances.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated this poverty.
The coronavirus is inflicting further damage on impoverished families, as they are unable to work even if they want to, and job opportunities are disappearing one after another.
One answer we arrived at after considering what we can do is to let more people know about the current situation.
No matter how hard we try, there are limits, and there are many families that we cannot reach.
Because we have worked on the front lines and heard many real voices, we feel that we have something to convey and that we must speak up.
Through this blog, I hope to share with you what's happening on the ground, what kinds of problems are being encountered, and more!
Please lend us your support so that poverty does not rob children of their future and so that we can give them many choices. 🙇♂️🙇♂️
