We would like to express our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2024, which occurred on January 1, 2024 , and our heartfelt sympathies to those affected by the disaster.

In order to help support those affected by the disaster, we have made a donation to the "Ishikawa Prefecture 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund" established by Ishikawa Prefecture.

We plan to continue working with government agencies and industry groups to provide the necessary support , depending on the situation in the affected areas.

We sincerely pray for the safety of everyone in the affected areas and for a speedy recovery.

Overseas Support

We cooperated with the non-profit organization Heart of Gold.

Daiko Electric continues to support "Heart of Gold," which operates an orphanage (New Child Care Center) in Cambodia.
The 12th study abroad program from NCCC to Japan, which had been postponed due to COVID-19, was realized in May 2023.
We received a letter from Sulai Mai, an international student.

In Cambodia, where 70% of the population still live in rural areas, children are often sacrificed due to poverty, so Hearts of Gold began providing educational support to children in orphanages in 2001.
Daiko Electric supports and cooperates with this activity.

*Donation funds are used to provide educational scholarships and living expenses for the poorest children in developing countries and are not given directly to children or their families.

Overseas Support

We made a donation in response to the Morocco earthquake and the Libyan floods.

We made a donation to the non-profit organization Doctors Without Borders to support those affected by the Moroccan earthquake and Libyan floods that occurred in September 2023.
In October, our director, Mori, visited Doctors Without Borders, spoke about their current activities, and received a letter of appreciation for our support.

Many people were affected by the Turkey-Syria earthquake that occurred on February 6th. We would like to express our sympathy to those affected and, in the hope of a speedy recovery, have made donations to the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey and the NPO Doctors Without Borders Japan.

Doctors Without Borders is a private, non-profit medical and humanitarian aid organization founded in France in 1971. It provides emergency medical assistance to people facing crises due to conflicts, natural disasters, poverty, and other factors from an independent, neutral and impartial standpoint. It also conducts "testimony" activities to raise awareness among society about the humanitarian crises it witnesses on the ground. In 1999, it was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its activities.

Ukraine emergency aid donations

Currently, many people, including civilians, have been killed in Ukraine, and many people have been forced to flee both inside and outside the country, raising concerns about a serious humanitarian crisis.
Daiko Electric has made a donation through the Ukrainian Embassy.
We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to those who have been affected by this crisis and to all those who are suffering, and we pray that peaceful days will return to the people of Ukraine as soon as possible.

We have been awarded the Medal with Dark Blue Ribbon by the Japanese government.
This is in recognition of our donation of 10 million yen in medical support funds and medical equipment such as masks and protective clothing to Osaka Prefecture in 2020.
The award ceremony was held at the Osaka Prefectural Office on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, with President Kushima and Executive Director Mori in attendance, and the certificate of commendation was presented by Ms. Mutsuko Fujii, Director of the Health and Medical Affairs Department of Osaka Prefecture.
