Fundraising and Donation for poverty

Mihana Hosokawa

⌨️Short summary

世界では現在約10人に1人が1.9ドル未満で生活しているといわれている。貧困を決するためには勿論、その根本的な問題に焦点を当て解消しなければならないが、我々一人一人がこの問題に個人的に取り組むには遥かに規模が大きく、現実的にも不可能に思えるだろう。そこで今回提案するプロジェクトでは、より多くの人々に世界の貧困問題に対する関心を持ってもらい、そして彼らへの支援の気持ちを”募金と寄付"という目に見える形にすることで、社会問題への貢献意欲を促したいと考えた。一人では難しくても、同じ意思を持つ者が集まればきっと大きな影響力を生むことができるだろう。様々な国の様々な世代が私の活動に協力してくれることを望んでいる。

Which SDGs this relates to, and how

I want to focus on the problems especially related to poverty. This project is aimed at G1 goal "no poverty" and the target is to raise people's awareness of poverty and promote "Fundraising and Donation".

この活動は、SＤGｓの目標１ “貧困をなくそう” に対する人々の関心を高めると共に、

貧しい人々を援助するための募金・寄付活動を促進することを目標としています。

G1 has 7 targets divided into small pieces, so now I will explain these briefly. First, by 2030, we will decrease the number of people who are extremely poor living on less than $ 1.25 a day. Second, by 2030, Reduce the proportion of men, women and children who are defined "poor" by various national standards by at least half. Third, in each country, we will establish appropriate social security system including minimum standards and measures to protect people's lives so that the poor and especially vulnerable people will be fully protected by 2030. The fourth, by 2030, everyone, including the poor and especially vulnerable, will have equal rights to economic resources and basic services. Also they need live and own and use their land and property to be able to use new technologies, financial services, etc. The fifth, by 2030, we will strengthen the ability of poor people and especially vulnerable people to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters, economic shocks, social crisis and environmental blow as much as possible, and to rebuild their lives even if they were in that situation. The sixth is to ensure the mobilization of significant resources in order to take appropriate and predictable measures for developing countries. The seventh is, at national, regional and international levels, establish appropriate policy frameworks based on poor and gender-friendly development strategies, and support to increase　investment in action to eradicate poverty.

By the end of next semester, if it would be possible, I have one thing that I want to try with you. want to create our original T-shirt for a charity. We sell them in some way and collect donations. Ultimately, we make contributions and help poor people. I intend to donate all our gross profits to poverty people. This project makes us actually contribute to society and the T-shirts we buy are around forever as proof of action to help people.

Why this research matters to you, to the local community, and to the global community

⌨️　貧困の問題を知っているにも関わらず、実際に貢献できていない人がほとんどであるという状況を何とかしたい。ファッションにつなげることで、若者がこの取り組みに興味を示してくれやすいと考え、また私達みたいな若者がやっている事業であることで取り組みやすくなるかもしれないと考えた。

Main contents

⌨️ advertise about SDGs, making original T-shirts, fundraising and donations

Who

⌨️We and you!!! We will decide who or what organization we should connect to in the future more specifically. Do you have any rough ideas of people to collaborate with?

What

⌨️ We create Original T-shirts for charity. These have simple design like you can use every day and a mark reminiscent of SDGs. If we could raise money, we will donate all our revenue to poor people.

When

⌨️We want to put our plan into action in the second semester. Concrete plan and the exact date is still undecided.

Where

⌨️University of Shizuoka, The base of an organization that we connect to, etc...

How

⌨️Spread information via SNS such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. ＃Azalea charity #

Contact with people on the internet or face-to-face.

Why

⌨️

Problems

⌨️ It may be difficult to find people who want to buy our T-shirts. It will takes some time for many people to know our projects . And also, we must think what is the best way to raise and donate money. "How do we do? " "What projects or organizations do we need to connect?" That are the problems.

If this project seems difficult to do, I still have another idea. I want to raise the people’s awareness of SDGs. We make posters explaining the SDGs, or create games that we can learn about SDGs, or collaborate with　junior high or high school students. We want to learn SDGs with many people. But it is not a concrete plan.

Actions

⌨️If possible, it may be good for us to start a new Face Book account to spread our information to anyone. (What are people trying to do to solve poverty?)

Other people/groups working on this problem

⌨️

Local community connections

⌨️I want more Kendai students and neighbors know what is SDGs and raise awareness of poverty problem. (Who is working on poverty in Shizuoka?)

Global community connections

⌨️I want to turn my eyes towards not only Japan but also overseas. Let us think about the poverty problems on a global scale.

Anything else

⌨️none

Conclusion

⌨️still thinking...
