Connect the Orange Ribbon 2025: An Initiative for a Kinder Future

Event Overview
The non-profit organization Chaibora, located in Toshima, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce its upcoming event, Connect the Orange Ribbon 2025. This initiative aligns perfectly with the Orange Ribbon Campaign, which aims to raise awareness about child abuse prevention during November. The event will be held at Ario Kasai in Edogawa-ku on November 3, 2025.

Having relocated from the iconic Tokyo Tower, this year's venue will be significant as Edogawa-ku is home to the first children's consultation center in the Tokyo 23 wards. The local government supports this event to facilitate community-driven efforts.
