Asiru's Triumph at the Crowdfunding Awards 2025
Asiru LLC, a company located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is proud to announce that it has received the Social Impact Award in the Lifestyle category at the Crowdfunding Awards 2025 held by Japan’s leading crowdfunding platform, CAMPFIRE. This recognition highlights the innovative nature and social relevance of Asiru's project, designed to support physical health and well-being.
Project Overview
Asiru's award-winning project titled "Training Band for Foot Care" was initiated to help individuals improve their foot health. With a total funding of ¥5,499,880 and 643 backers during the campaign from November 9, 2024, to January 3, 2025, the project’s goal was to enable individuals suffering from issues like bunions or flat feet to regain their foot strength without resorting to invasive surgery or costly insoles.
The distinctive feature of the Training Band lies in its ability to provide support without causing skin irritation or discomfort, making it user-friendly with easy application on bare feet or over socks. This user-centric design reflects Asiru’s mission of improving balance and flexibility for a wider audience.
Through various reward tiers for backers, including discounted purchases, bodywork seminars, and consultations on traditional Asian medicine, the project encouraged participants to engage and deepen their knowledge alongside using the product. Asiru aims to further enhance this effort by developing bands for other body parts and collecting data to support broader health initiatives.
