Since its establishment in 2013, Mirai no Mori creates transformative outdoor programs for children living in care homes in Japan, aiming to support the development of the essential life skills needed to make their dreams come true.
In principle, children are required to leave care homes and live independently as they graduate from high school, and begin to manage every aspect of their lives. Through Mirai no Mori programs, the children encounter a unique environment where they can think and act on their own, stepping out of their usual self and demonstrating their own ability and potential.
Vison
We envision a society where all youth have equal opportunities.
Mission
We are a not-for-profit organization that creates life-changing outdoor programs for abused, neglected, and orphaned children in Japan, supporting their growth into happy and successful young adults.
