Funding for School Meals in Developing Countries
One in three children in developing countries suffers from chronic malnutrition. NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS and NISSIN FROZEN FOODS participate in the Red Cup campaign, donating a portion of sales of designated products to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). The NISSINFOODS Group also provides funding for school meals through the Hyakufukushi Project and sponsorship of events.
Measures to Fight Childhood Poverty in Japan
One in seven children in Japan is said to live below the poverty line. The NISSIN FOODS Group supports the Fund to Support Children’s Future, promoted by the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and The Nippon Foundation. The Group donated ¥426,000 through the Hyakufukushi Project in fiscal 2018, and cumulative donations since fiscal 2017 have reached ¥1,058,000.
Support for Education at Japanese Schools
The Bellmark Campaign is an initiative of the Bellmark Educational Support Foundation in which companies and consumers join together in improving school educational facilities and materials. NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS has sold products printed with the Bellmark symbol and campaign points since 1961 as a corporate sponsor. Each point is converted to ¥1, and the proceeds are used to purchase necessary educational materials and equipment for schools.
