A. The decision may differ depending on the municipality where the child lives.

<About the Project>

Q. Why do you limit this project focus to soccer?

A. Based on our Vision, Mission and experience, we have known that children watch their parents/guardians closely. Unrestricted incentives are very important because families are allowed to use the money for what they need. On the other hand, with funds that can be used for anything, children may have to put up with their passions so as not to inconvenience their parents/guardians. And we believe that playing sport can be a positive impact on children in the long term, not just a short-term. With the cash benefits this time, we are deliberately limiting the use of the funds to soccer, so that children can enjoy what they really love, soccer to the fullest.


Q. What is the purpose of this first year's project?

In addition to helping children in need, we aim to understand the scale of the issue and what they really need. In case the scale is large, we will try to encourage soccer community to join us or to develop new project to resolve the issue together.
