Since its establishment, TAKE ACTION has brought enjoyment to many people and smiles to many children through its activities.
“Participation for all while having fun leads to a smile on someone’s face.” Here are the various projects that TAKE ACTION Foundation has carried out with a view to ongoing social action.
April 2009: Life After Football Match
Total amount of aid: US$183,500
With the goal of revitalizing local communities and popularizing soccer, we held a soccer match and soccer clinic by the players of TAKE ACTION F.C. comprising former professional soccer players.
Many people enjoyed the soccer match, which resulted in a donation by Yamanashi Football Association of US$183,500 from the proceeds of the match, as well as soccer balls being distributed to children in the Republic of South Africa and Japan in order to promote juvenile soccer and the sound growth of young people.
The project to distribute soccer balls in South Africa not only resulted in the distribution of soccer balls but also in the implementation of an educational program in respect of the life skills required by young people facing a variety of problems such as AIDS, crime, violence, and drugs.

The WFP School Feeding Programme supports the growth of children by providing meals with high nutritional value, while at the same time providing educational support in developing countries by expanding educational opportunities to ensure that children receive an education.
