Nakayama, one of the current representatives, has been involved in regional development activities for many years, supporting infrastructure development in rural areas in Japan, France, Italy, and several African countries.
In the process, he has noticed a feature that is more prominent in Africa than in Japan:
“Try it out”
In Japan, there are many regulations and restrictions because of safety concerns, and few people can act even if they come up with an idea.
However, in Africa, there are many people who take action, so the environment is rapidly changing.
On the other hand, he has noticed a feature that is more prominent in Japan than in Africa:
“Observe and analyze”
“Future planning”
In Africa, more than 90% of people who take action are unable to continue financially and give up.
Planning activities with an eye on one, five, or ten years from now,
researching and analyzing what other companies are doing,
such ideas are still in the development stage.
Therefore, he founded this organization, believing that by combining the features of both, he can create new services and technologies and realize a richer and more exciting life.
The other representative, Rose, is a working mother raising six children in Kenya.
She has a great capacity for adopting children and volunteering to help improve the quality of life for young people and women.
To carry out these activities, not only passion but also funds and planning skills are required.
Therefore, while keeping her original vision as a base,
she felt that it was necessary to improve people’s lives by achieving economic independence rather than relying on aid or working for free,
and she hit it off with Nakayama.
