Social Contribution

Fund-raising Event

Takara Leben's Thai subsidiary held a charity event for 15 days in December 2023 to raise funds and collect used clothes and books you no longer read. The used clothes and other items collected within the company were purchased by a recycling company, and the proceeds will be used to fund the activities of the Miller Foundation^*, a NGO that addresses social issues in Thailand.

This time, 2,977 baht (about 12,500 yen) was raised, and three large cardboard boxes of donated items were collected. The money raised will be used to support the school, and the donated items will be given to ethnic minority children in northern Thailand who are unable to receive support due to their lack of nationality.

• * Miller Foundation: An NGO that supports the improvement of the quality of life and the transmission of culture and traditions of the hill tribes living in Thailand. Together with the Thai government and other NGOs, it helps hill tribes solve their own problems such as poverty, human trafficking, drugs, national politics, education, and discrimination.

Sponsored the Children's World Peace Summit®

MIRARTH HOLDINGS is a silver sponsor of the 4th Children's World Peace Summit® organized by the Peace Piece Project.

The Summit is a place where children not only learn about the history of their countries, including war and nuclear weapons, but also learn how to build peace and present "ideas for creating world peace."At the Summit, teenagers representing their countries will give speeches at the International Conference Hall of the House of Representatives and other venues used by world leaders. By providing children with the experience of independently learning and thinking about peace with children from many different countries during their critical teenage years, when they are developing both mentally and physically, we hope that they will develop an interest in international cooperation and become a force to be reckoned with in the international community in the future.

To date, more than 600 ideas have been submitted from more than 27 countries around the world, with 100 million children from 100 countries participating in this festival of wisdom to solve global issues. The summit also contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Winner of Kids Design Award for "Yajirushi" Emergency Shelter Guidance Signs

As a developer involved in urban development through the sale of new houses, Leben Home Build produces and installs "Yajirushi" signs to guide people to evacuation centers, based on the idea that "in residential areas with few landmarks, signs are needed to guide people, including small children, to evacuation centers that are easily understood by everyone." To help educate children throughout the community about disaster preparedness, we have installed them at locations facing the street, such as inside garbage stations in its subdivisions. At the time of installation, we communicated the purpose and significance of the project to the residents of the surrounding area, and we have received support from many of them. In the future, we will provide this service to other companies' subdivisions, governments, and organizations upon request, aiming to contribute to disaster prevention in the local community as a whole.
