Shirakawa Social Welfare Foundation, Japan
San-ikukai was founded by volunteers at the Student YMCA of Tokyo Imperial University (currently the Student YMCA of Tokyo University) on March 16, 1918. At that time, many people were struggling to live due to the economic impact and social changes caused by World War I. The need for social work based on the Christian principle of 'love your neighbor as yourself' was discussed, and, beginning with free medical care for women and children, the present-day San-ikukai is involved with this.
