On October 27th, Habitat for Humanity Japan participated in an event organized by State Street. The event was part of State Street's program called "This Is Why I Give", an initiative aimed to engage its employees in socially responsible activities.
At the event, HFH Japan and five other organizations set up booths to introduce their activities and volunteer opportunities. A number of State
Street employees visited the HFH Japan's booths and learnt about poverty housing and overseas volunteer opportunities as well as exchanged opinions about how social-minded corporations can better work with NGOs.
In addition to sharing Habitat's vision with the visitors, HFH Japan asked State Street employees to share what kind of local activities they would be interested in. A range of opinions varied greatly, reflecting the diverse possibilities of Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, programs.
Habitat Japan will continue to engage in opportunities to raise awareness
about housing issues and bring people together.
