Create a place for everyone

A place where light shines in,
for everyone.

Creating a place where people who feel “difficulty in living” in society can spend their time in peace.
And spreading the way society should be where everyone is accepted.
Marowa no Mori Foundation carries out activities for this purpose.

Declaration of a Place to Belong

We believe.
If people have a place where they can feel safe, they can take a step forward again.
A place to belong is not a special support, but something that should exist naturally in society.

A place where light shines in, for everyone.
