To bring smiles to the faces of all children and their families, we aim to solve social problems through ongoing donations to children's charities.
(President and Representative Director: Tomoya Hoshi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as "Uluru") announced today that on November 8, 2021, it will make a donation to the Mirai Kodomo Foundation (President: Shoei Taniyama, Osaka, hereinafter referred to as "Mirai Kodomo Foundation"), a general incorporated foundation that supports children. (Osaka, Japan; President: Shoei Taniyama; hereinafter referred to as "Mirai Kodomo Foudation") in proportion to the number of photos published on the "en-photo" service. We will continue to make this kind of donation every six months.
We want to bring smiles to the faces of all children and their families.
"En-photo" is an online photo sales service for nursery schools and kindergartens, which has been introduced at approximately 3,000 schools nationwide and has been used by a cumulative total of approximately 200,000 parents (as of August 2021). The service is used by over 200,000 parents (as of August 2021), and has been designed to capture children's experiences, growth and the smiles that accompany them, and to create memories for families.
However, children's lives and family situations are not always equal, and some face social challenges such as abuse and poverty. "In order to bring smiles to the faces of all children and their families, we have decided to make a donation to an organisation that supports children.
Mirai Children's Foundation's "direct support" resonates with us
The Mirai Children's Foundation has been supporting children through a variety of projects to create a place to live, experience and learn, and to expand their options for the future, including employment. Many of the donations we receive are used to directly support our work, bringing smiles to children's faces.
It is with this in mind that we have decided to make a donation to the Mirai Children's Foundation. This time, we donated 129,906 yen (0.02 yen per photo) in November for 6,495,302 photos published between April and September 2021.
Shoei Taniyama, President of Mirai Children's Foundation, comments
Thank you very much for your donation to Mirai Children's Foundation.
We support children living in orphanages suffering from poverty and child abuse, which are social issues in Japan.
In the Corona disaster, children in orphanages are deprived of many more opportunities for learning and development. Corona also has a significant impact on the lives of students, single mothers and others who have graduated from the institutions. Your donation to
will be used to help these children and young people.
