◆Circumstance

n Japan, many people need help of guide dogs, however the number of guide dogs is insufficient. 10% of the guide dog training cost comes from government subsidy and 90% from donations. Our donation is going to be used for the training of guide dogs. All our staff are hoping that guide dogs will be provided to as many people who need them as possible.We will continue to aim for the development of a sustainable society through continued efforts to solve social issues.
