Empowering Orphans in Japan: 600 Computers for 600

Over the past several months, our organization has received generous financial contributions from multiple philanthropic donors, including Ansys and Blue Compass. These funds have allowed us to provide essential resources—particularly laptops and other technology—to youth programs throughout Japan, including orphanages and foster care centers. These resources support a diverse range of students, from middle school through university entrance.


Key Highlights

  1. Direct Support from Multiple Donors
    We have not partnered with other charitable groups, but direct donations from organizations such as Ansys and Blue Compass have made it possible to procure laptops and additional technology resources for underprivileged children across the country.

  2. Distribution of Resources
    After carefully assessing the needs of each facility, we distributed laptops, educational materials, and structured lessons. By combining modern technology with our tailored IT lessons, we aim to foster curiosity about the digital world and spark interest in the technology sector. This exposure helps open students’ minds to a broader array of potential career paths.

  3. Impact on Local Communities
    Initial responses from caregivers and staff have been overwhelmingly positive. The new technology, paired with interactive lessons, has significantly boosted students’ motivation, digital literacy, and excitement about learning. Through hands-on IT activities, students are not only expanding their academic skills but also developing an understanding of the career possibilities in information technology.

  4. Monitoring and Future Goals
    We continue to monitor resource usage, ensuring that the laptops and lessons effectively address students’ needs. Our long-term goal is to broaden these programs across more youth facilities in Japan, empowering an even greater number of students with the skills and confidence to pursue IT-focused education and other career opportunities.


We extend our deepest gratitude to Ansys, Blue Compass, and all other donors who have contributed to making this initiative possible. Together, we are bridging the digital divide, fostering a spirit of inquiry, and paving the way for underprivileged youth—ranging from middle school to university-bound students—to discover a brighter future.
