We have been providing our sick child care service to working parents since 2003. And as our business grows, more and more parents could get our service. However, it was still difficult to use our service for single parent who needs our service most. So, we started this single parent families support that you can contribute to them through donation from you.
Why do they need sick child care service?
There are several reason that we have to save single parent families.
1. Their income is almost a third of the average per household.
Single parent families' average per household is only about 2,110,000yen comparing to the nationwide average, 5,630,000yen.
2. The income gap deprives their children of educational chances and it leads a poverty spriral to next generations.
The expenses for education of single parent family is a half of the average family's. To make matters worse, the their children perhaps lose their educational or economical chances.
3. They are facing a risk of jobless.
If they lose their job once, their income might become zero because only 50% of them have unemployment insurance. Who can take care of their sick child when they do not have relatives around them?
