In order to create ‘a world without hunger, where people live in harmony‘, we need to achieve not only social empowerment but economic empowerment. We believe that economic poverty is not solely the result of individual inactivity or incompetence but is, in fact, caused by socio-economic challenges which contributes to a cycle of poverty for many individuals.
Our initiatives have focused much on breaking this vicious cycle of poverty. In order to achieve self-reliance of the the people suffering from poverty, we have supported various income generation activities throughout the world. We will continue to increase the economic capacity of individuals and further stimulate the social economy in order to achieve economic self-reliance through solidarity and cooperation.
