A popular event is held at parks in Tokyo and nearby prefectures almost about once a month.

Donation

At KIV, children are exposed to international exchanges and different cultures from an early age, and through opportunities to communicate with many foreigners, we are doing our best to create opportunities to understand different cultures and to "speak" with courage. 

Our goal is not only for Japanese children, but to provide exchanges opportunities to understand different cultures around the world.

In that case, event holding fees (park usage fee, game tool / production cost, sweets and drinks, etc.), software fee, accounting, operation, customer management, advertising expenses, etc. are costly.
In addition, we will implement language learning support programs for children from economically-challenged families, language exchange programs with local foreigners, cross-cultural understanding, and multicultural coexistence programs for elementary school students after school. This is our vision and we need support from all over the world. 

If you are interested in participating in the fundraising, kindly donate on the donation form or contact us. Your support goes a long way toward helping children connect with people around the world and broaden their horizons in the future.
