Last Updated October 24, 2024
About independence support system for the poor in life
Due to various circumstances, such as "I can't find a job easily" or "I'm worried about managing my household", I'm living.
We are accepting consultations for those who are in trouble. We will stay close to each person and think about solutions together.
You can also consult with your family and people around you.
Don't worry alone, please contact us first.
