Scholarship for the Asian University Women
Located in Bangladesh, the Asian University for Women (AUW) is dedicated to providing women with higher education opportunities and cultivating successive generations of female leaders. In some Asian countries, it is often hard for female students to go on to university due to financial difficulties, so a large number of the students at AUW take advantage of the scholarship program.
The FR Foundation donates funds for scholarships to the Asian University for Women in order to help more Asian women become comfortable operating on the global business stage and to encourage women to participate more actively in society. The donations enable many women who want to study the opportunity to do so at university level, regardless of their economic circumstances or cultural background.Related Links

Deafblind Children Support

Deafblind Children Support
Deafblindness affects both sight and hearing and can take a variety of forms. Cases of such dual sensory impairment are rare in Japan and scattered all over the country, so it is hard to get a good grasp of even the basic information, such as how many cases there are. Facilities to care for deafblind children are lacking. Rehabilitation and teaching must be tailored to each child’s needs, and we do not have enough teachers with the right expertise and training. The FR Foundation supports “developmental research on the establishment of support systems for deafblind children and pupils” with the aim of building practical support frameworks for the deafblind child. The research involves conducting teacher training and seminars relevant to deafblind students’ daily rehabilitation and education, which demands a high level of expertise, seeking to improve the quality of educational practices, and studying comprehensive support programs for deafblind students.
