Foundation for Global Children (FGC)

“Children are our future; we have no future without fulfilling our duty to value and care for each and every child.”

The FGC was established in July 2010, to conduct research into and survey problems pertaining to education, medical care, and welfare of children in Japan and other countries as well as to search and provide counsel for the ideal lines of future development in these areas. To achieve the purpose, the FGC has been engaged in support activities necessary for the healthy growth of children and fostering their ‘power to live together’. A massive earthquake of magnitude of 9.0 occurred on March 11, 2012, off the Pacific coast of the northeastern part of the Japanese main land (Tohoku Region). It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and triggered powerful tsunami waves, causing devastating damages in coastal areas.The FGC initiated support actions in the disaster area right after the earthquake, on March 17. Many victims, especially children, are suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There are serious cases caused by anxiety after the disaster, and after one year, very little of the issues have been solved.

We believe that it is one of our missions to continue our support to the victims. The FGC also has been engaged in support activities mainly in Asia, and other parts of the world as well, to promote medical and educational environment for children.
