A New Social Contribution Initiative in Japan
Japan Reuse System Corporation, headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, has initiated a unique social contribution program known as the Monthly Fan Club, which started in March 2025. This innovative program allows members to participate easily and withdraw without complication while contributing to meaningful causes.
What is the Monthly Fan Club?
The Monthly Fan Club is designed for those who wish to support empowerment initiatives, especially through the company's main project, "Old Clothes for Vaccines" which focuses on providing essential polio vaccines to developing countries. For just 1,000 yen (excluding tax) each month, members can help sustain these important activities and support individuals with disabilities both domestically and internationally.
Benefits of the Monthly Fan Club
Members have the opportunity to engage in several impactful activities including:
- - Sending polio vaccines to save lives in developing nations,
- - Supporting Filipino women working at the project hub,
- - Assisting disabled staff in Cambodia towards their independence,
- - Promoting artists affiliated with organizations for disabled artists,
- - Encouraging individuals with disabilities in domestic welfare facilities.
The Monthly Fan Club is not merely a donation scheme but a way to engage members in meaningful endeavors. When individuals pay their membership fee of 1,000 yen (excluding tax) monthly, they will receive rewards known as 'Tokuten' based on the duration of their membership, including thank-you letters from project staff or the opportunity to select desired kits from the project after a year of membership.
A Simple and Flexible Membership Structure
The recruitment for the Monthly Fan Club is simplified with an easy participation process and the ability for members to withdraw seamlessly. There are no restrictions based on how long one must remain a member. Payment methods include credit card, Amazon Pay, or Rakuten Pay, making it convenient for everyone wanting to give back.
Philosophy Behind the Program
The philosophy of "Tokutoku" integrates the ideas of accumulating virtue and obtaining gains. By supporting activities through kindness, participants help to uphold others' futures and, in turn, experience fulfillment both materially and spiritually. This sentiment birthed the Monthly Fan Club, aiming for a society where giving and benefiting go hand in hand.
Japan Reuse System operates various initiatives such as "Old Clothes for Vaccines," "Kimonos for Tailoring," and "Kitchens for Feeding," which promote reusing discarded clothing, kimonos, and kitchen items to support both environmental protection and assistance to people facing adversity worldwide.
Since the launch of the Old Clothes for Vaccines initiative in October 2010, the program has achieved significant results:
- - 9.8 million polio vaccine donations
- - 68 million clothing items effectively utilized
Looking forward, Japan Reuse System Corp will continue to foster a society abundant in both virtue and benefit, making more reliable strides in providing ongoing support to people facing challenges both domestically and internationally. The Monthly Fan Club marks a commitment to building a sustainable future and a robust support system for those in need.
