Ikemoba, a smartphone repair, buyback, and sales brand operated by EAGLE Inc., will host the '6th Smartphone Support Project for Single-Parent Families,' a CSR initiative providing a total of 1 million yen worth of smartphones (100 iPhones) for free, on June 28, 2026 (Sun), starting at 15:00 at Ikemoba Main Store in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture.
This project has been held five times previously, delivering a total of approximately 500 smartphones to single-parent families. For this sixth iteration, the company will provide a total of 100 units of iPhone X series and iPhone SE (2nd generation/64GB) free of charge.
Starting this time, the company has launched a dedicated website where anyone can participate in the support effort through searches, surveys, or mobile device donations. Ikemoba is evolving this initiative, which it previously handled alone, into a collaborative support project involving residents, companies, organizations, and individuals across Okinawa Prefecture.
Highlights of the 6th Project 1. Evolved System: Launch of a dedicated support website where 'anyone can participate.' Previously handled solely by Ikemoba, the initiative is now open to businesses and individuals, allowing for smartphone donations and other forms of support. 2. Evolved Hardware: Upgraded to iPhone X series or newer. Providing newer devices to create a more comfortable environment for children’s study, communication, and information gathering. 3. Evolved Infrastructure: Leveraging a network of three main island stores and two remote island stores. With locations in Naha, Urasoe, Okinawa City, Miyakojima, and Ishigakijima, the company is committed to continuous, community-rooted support.

Comment from CEO Kyohei Ikehara, EAGLE Inc. 'I was raised in a single-parent household in Naha as the second of seven children. Since I started my smartphone repair company, we receive "unused smartphones" almost every day. If discarded, they are just trash, but if repaired, they become an essential tool for a child in a single-parent family to research problems, relearn subjects, and stay connected with family and friends. This project started from that simple realization.
Through five previous events, we have handed out about 500 phones. This time, we are providing 100 units of iPhone X series and SE (2nd Gen) and have set up a platform where everyone can help. Single-parent household issues are one of the social challenges for all of Okinawa, which is why I wanted all of Okinawa to support this together.'
Call for Sponsorship and Support To expand support to more families, for this sixth event, we are calling for widespread sponsorship and support: - Donation of unused smartphones - Sponsorship for operational planning (funds, goods, services, etc.) - Cooperation through spreading information via SNS, etc.
