Goka Town and Palsystem Ibaraki Tochigi Join Forces for Childcare

On August 4, 2025, Goka Town and Palsystem Ibaraki Tochigi held a signing ceremony for a collaborative agreement aimed at enhancing childcare support within the community. This significant event took place at 1:30 PM in the disaster management room at Goka Town Hall, marking a pivotal moment in community cooperation.

Strengthening Community Bonds

The agreement, titled "Cooperation Agreement for Promoting Childcare Support," is designed to create an environment where families can feel secure while raising their children. Under this collaboration, Palsystem will distribute congratulatory cards for newborns, known as "Omedetou Bako," during visits to new parents. These packages contain essential baby care products, including baby soap and nutritious ingredients for making baby food, proving to be a helpful resource for new families.

The Omedetou Bako will be directly handed over by Palsystem representatives to the applicants, ensuring a personal touch in the delivery process. This initiative is not just about providing products; it plays a crucial role in fostering connections within the community. As a cooperative, Palsystem aims to support families by not only delivering products but also facilitating interactions and providing vital information about childcare and available resources.

Creating a Supportive Environment for Families

During newborn visits, Goka Town plans to distribute these informational cards that will guide parents on various support options available to them. This partnership emphasizes local engagement, where Palsystem's delivery service will be key in reaching out to families and encouraging their active participation in community life. By supporting these families, Goka Town and Palsystem are working to cultivate a nurturing atmosphere where every child can thrive.

The agreement aligns with the United Nations-designated International Cooperative Year in 2025, reflecting a commitment to cooperative values and community support. Both Goka Town and Palsystem are dedicated to building a region where everyone feels safe and confident in raising children.
