Amid the financial difficulties faced by many Brazilian schools in Japan, Mitsui & Co., one of the nation's leading trading firms, is to provide a total of 50 million yen in school materials this year to 10 of the schools, more than doubling the funds and number of schools the firm has supported annually.
Ten schools in seven prefectures, including Escola Nectar in Aichi Prefecture, Colegio Pitagoras Brazil-Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, and Colegio Latino de Shiga in Shiga Prefecture, were declared eligible for the 5 million yen support.
The funds will be used to repair school facilities, set up a prefabricated library and purchase school buses, computers, books and science lab materials.
As a part of corporate social responsibility programs, Mitsui has provided books and other necessary materials worth 5 million yen each to four Brazilian schools in the nation annually since fiscal 2005.
"Visiting Brazilian schools, we became aware that we needed to fund more schools rather than just a select few for a long period because there are so many in need," said Toshio Shibasaki, Mitsui's senior philanthropy specialist.
Since establishing a subsidiary in Brazil in 1938, Mitsui has imported metals and foods. Because the firm's investments in Brazil as well as imports from the nation are expected to grow in the future, the firm decided to help the Brazilian schools struggling financially to educate the children of Brazilian workers.
