FELISSIMO Merry Support Fund

message to everyone

The FELISSIMO Mutual Aid Fund was launched in July 2020 to address the various challenges that have arisen with the outbreak of the new coronavirus. With your participation, we have been able to provide a number of support activities, some of which we would like to introduce. With no end in sight to the spread of infection, many children's cafeterias continue to distribute lunch boxes and food in parallel. However, these activities have placed a heavy financial burden on the children's cafeterias. This is because additional costs such as purchasing containers for take-out were required. We were able to provide support through the fund and support the operation of the children's cafeterias. We also support families who stay overnight in pediatric wards, where the burden is increasing due to restrictions on activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide food to those recovering at home and check their safety. After the contributions are made, we receive reports from each organization and publish them on the FELISSIMO website, so please take a look. We will continue to work with you to consider how to use the fund, so please send us your opinions. We look forward to your participation in the Mutual Aid Fund.

from the field of activity

We received an activity report from Terra Renaissance, a certified NPO that contributed funds for fiscal 2021, on the "Project to Protect the Lives and Education of People Living in Uganda During the COVID-19 Pandemic." In Uganda during the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided informal education classes and counseling to 12 vulnerable children and young people (aged 13 to 18) who were at risk of being recruited by criminal groups, and were able to create a place for children in unstable situations to learn and exercise.
