Shoku-kai, a social welfare corporation based in Shime-machi, Fukuoka, has launched a project integrating childcare, child development support, and employment support with a grant from the Yamato Welfare Foundation. The organization is renovating a former eye clinic building to include a new kitchen where employment support users can work. They are focusing on producing vegan and gluten-free foods and promoting the 'sixth-sector industrialization' of abandoned bamboo forests. By connecting local food, agriculture, and childcare, they aim to create a sustainable model for regional welfare.
