Social welfare facilities and the challenges of human resource shortages
Social foster care facilities house children who have difficulty living at home due to various circumstances such as abuse or poverty. There are six types of social foster care facilities: infant homes, children's homes, child psychotherapy facilities, children's self-reliance support facilities, maternal and child living support facilities, and self-reliance support homes. In order to provide adequate care to each of these children, it is essential to secure stable human resources. However, it is difficult to raise a budget for public relations activities, and information is not sufficiently disseminated to job seekers, so many facilities are currently facing a shortage of staff.

As a result of these efforts, the number of people hired through "Chavonavi" has steadily increased to 370 per year as of the end of March 2025, and the number of facilities with a record of hiring has expanded to 138 facilities. Over the past year, the number of registered social foster care facilities has increased significantly from 372 to 510, leading to the current milestone of "achieving a registration rate of over 50% of all foster care facilities in Japan.

By conveying the appeal of working at a social welfare facility, we are working to increase interest in the work of the facility. Only at Chai Bora can current employees and members with experience as employees convey the high resolution and satisfaction of working at a facility.
Management of training programs aimed at preventing informal turnover and retention of facility staff
Through "Chabozemi," an online training program that provides one year and three months of support for informal and new employees, we aim to create a workplace environment where facility staff can work for a long time with a sense of fulfillment. We also promote interaction among staff members and provide training related to human resource recruitment and retention.
Awareness-raising and collaboration projects
We connect corporations, organizations, and individual supporters with facilities, and through educational activities, we deepen understanding of social foster care and expand the circle of support.
