いつも当園の運営に温かいご支援とご理解を賜り、心より御礼申し上げます。
さて、このたび、当基金が運営してまいりました「さくらファミリーホーム」は、1994年の設立以来、皆様方のご厚情に支えられながら、バングラデシュの子どもたちに家庭のような温もりと教育の機会を提供してまいりましたが、2025年6月末をもちまして31年間の活動に幕を閉じることとなりました。
これは、近年、日本国内の会員数が減少し、会費や寄付による収入が運営費の約4分の1にまで落ち込む状況となり、施設の維持や子どもたちの生活を守るために様々な努力を重ねてまいりましたものの、安定した運営が困難な状況となり、閉園という苦渋の選択に至りました。
これまで、バングラデシュの恵まれない子どもたちのための孤児院運営事業にご支援・ご協力いただきました皆様方に心より感謝申し上げます。
今後は、恵まれない境遇にある若者たちが自立し、社会で活躍できるよう支援していくため、現地のニーズに応じて教育や職業訓練を行う「研修センター」の設立を目指しています。
新たな一歩を踏み出す「日本バングラデシュ協力基金」に、引き続きご理解とご支援を賜りますようよろしくお願い申し上げます。
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued warm support and understanding toward the operation of our organization.
Since its establishment in 1994, the "Sakura Family Home," operated by our foundation, has provided underprivileged children in Bangladesh with a warm, family-like environment and educational opportunities, thanks to the generous support and kindness of our supporters. However, we regret to inform you that after 31 years of activity, the home officially closed its doors at the end of June 2025.
In recent years, the number of members supporting our activities in Japan has declined, resulting in a significant drop in revenue from membership fees and donations, which now accounts for only about one-quarter of the operating costs. Despite our utmost efforts to sustain the facility and ensure the well-being of the children, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain stable operations, and we were ultimately faced with the difficult decision to close the home.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all those who have supported and cooperated with us in the operation of this orphanage for disadvantaged children in Bangladesh over the years.
Looking ahead, we aim to establish a "Training Center" tailored to local needs, where we will provide education and vocational training to help underprivileged youth become self-reliant and contribute to society.
We kindly ask for your continued understanding and support for the Japan-Bangladesh Cooperation Foundation as we take this new step forward.
