Our mission

”It takes a village to raise a child."
「子どもひとり育てるには村ひとついる」

このアフリカの諺の実践を目指し、
地域の"village化"を通して、子どもたちの健やかな育ちを応援したい！

In order to promote healthy parenting and our overall wellbeing, we would like to make this community a 'village' as described in this African proverb above so that people in the 'village' get involved with the process of child-rearing.

• 住んでいるコミュニティの中で顔の見えるリアルな関係づくり
  To provide various opportunities to get to know people in the community
• さまざまな年代が交流することで生まれるプラス作用
  To create a positive environment for people of all ages in the community
• ありのままの自分を認められることでのウェルビーイングの向上
  To promote wellbeing by fostering n environment where everyone is accepted for who they truly are

What is well-being? ウェルビーイングとは

ウェルビーイングとは　What is well-being?

「心も体も、そして人とのつながりの面でもhappyでいること」
Well-being is a positive state experienced by individuals and societies (WHO)
