About YouMeWe NPO
In the heart of Tokyo, a transformative initiative is changing the lives of children from institutionalized homes. Founded in 2018, YouMeWe (YMW) is dedicated to empowering, educating and inspiring young individuals, ensuring they transition into adulthood as capable, self-reliant and thriving members of society. As they near the age of 18, YMW stands by their side, ready to support their transition into university, technical school or the workforce.
Our Mission: To support teenagers growing up in institutionalized homes to become fully capable and financially independent young adults as they reach the age of 18 and prepare to leave the home whether it is off to university, technical school or to a new job.
YMW’s journey began in Japan, where we recognized the unique challenges faced by 33,000 orphans across 600 orphanages. Despite efforts to create nurturing environments, these children often lack the individualized attention and guidance needed to navigate their futures. YMW stepped in to fill this gap, offering a lifeline of support and opportunity.
Driven by the need to address Japan's demographic challenges – a growing elderly population and a shrinking overall population – our ultimate goal is to empower these young individuals to take on life's challenges and become employable, motivated members of society. Our impact has since expanded beyond Japan, reaching orphanages in the Philippines, Brazil, and Ghana, where we continue to transform lives.
