What is an foster home?
An children’s home is a type of child welfare facility, as described in the Child Welfare Act.
Article 41 of the Child Welfare Act indicates that “A foster home shall be a facility intended for admitting,
and providing foster care for children without a guardian, abused children,
and other children in need of foster care in terms of their environment,
as well as intended for providing consulting and other assistance such as teaching self-reliance to those who have become independent.”
Locations of foster home are approved by each prefectural governor,
based on the designation of the Director of the Child Consultation Center.

The Present Situation and Problems upon Leaving
the foster home
the foster home
While caring for children currently at these facilities, staff also take the time to listen to children who come back to visit to discuss their problems and concerns.
Money is one of the most common issues.
The reason why is because the children who graduated from the facility
no longer can receive government support.
These children must cover all their living expenses and school expenses by themselves.

by the People who Work in foster home
Our desire is to collect donations for children who will graduate from foster home.
We, the staff who work in these facilities, ask that you consider the children who are approaching graduation.
Many graduates are snubbed by society and left to fend for themselves in unfavorable environments.
Despite the harsh circumstances, these children strive to make a life for themselves, pushing towards a brighter tomorrow.
Please donate to such children.

Administrative Director
Akihiro Hongo
Back when I was a student, I had a friend who had been abused and deeply hurt by his father. At that time, I gathered as much information as I could, wondering if there was anything I could do for my friend.
I still remember feeling frustrated because I couldn't do anything at that time. From that experience,
I studied psychology and social welfare at university, and volunteered at foster home.
I gained knowledge and deepened my understanding of the current situation of foster home in Japan.
Upon graduation from university, I have been involved with children in foster home, working as a child instructor.
