Join Our Online Talk Event: Empowering Youth

Masterpiece, a non-profit organization based in Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, is dedicated to creating a society where all young people can safely hear their own voices. On August 22nd, from 20:00 to 21:00, we invite you to join an online event titled "Let’s Hear from Youth: Experiences in the House." This event will be a unique opportunity to engage in conversation with Miyo, who has transitioned out of our supportive housing program.

About Masterpiece

Established on November 14, 2017, and led by Marika Kikuchi, a former staff member at a childcare facility, Masterpiece focuses on assisting youth who have aged out of child welfare systems or who find it challenging to rely on their families due to various circumstances. We aim to support these young individuals by providing them with essential services in areas such as housing, food, and emotional well-being.

Through our crowdfunding initiative, we seek to maintain ongoing support for youth dealing with the aftermath of abuse or difficult situations. By participating in our project, you can help these young individuals secure the possible resources they need to build a stable life.

The upcoming event will feature an engaging dialogue between Marika Kikuchi and Miyo, offering insights into Miyo's firsthand experiences living in Masterpiece's supportive environment. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and learn about how Masterpiece operates and the impact it has on young people's lives. This is a great opportunity for those interested in understanding more about our mission and how we can collectively contribute to creating a safer environment for the youth of today.
