Supporting Fujikura Gakuen: An Idea of the Founder Still Upheld Today
–The Starting Point for Social Contribution Activities Aimed at Creating an Inclusive Society–

What is Fujikura Gakuen?

Our support of Fujikura Gakuen forms part of the Fujikura Group's social contribution activities. The goal is to support its users, namely children with mental disabilities, in developing physically and mentally in a wholesome manner and gaining essential skills for living independently in the local community while preserving their dignity.
Fujikura Gakuen, a social welfare corporation, was founded on June 7, 1919, nearly 100 years ago in the town of Motomachi on Izu Oshima. Harukichi Nakauchi, the blood brother of the founder Zenpachi Fujikura (and originally the auditor), donated a sizable amount of his personal assets (currently worth approximately 2 billion yen) and 40,000 tsubo of land (approx. 132,000 m2) on Izu Oshima for the land and building to establish the school and residence for mentally handicapped children and adults. Today, Fujikura Gakuen has facilities on Izu Oshima and in Tama (Hachioji City). These facilities have around 100 workers who provide 24-hour care and education to approximately 130 individuals.
Since its inception, the Fujikura Group has made donations as a company and its individual employees have donated their own money, too, in supporting the organization to continue its operations. The support provided to Fujikura Gakuen is considered the focal point of the Fujikura Group's social contribution activities, and this support will be sustained going forward.Since its inception, the Fujikura Group has made donations as a company and its individual employees have donated their own money, too, in supporting the organization to continue its operations.
