SEISA to the Worldへ

Since the very beginning, SEISA Group has been encouraging international understanding education through overseas school trips, study abroad, and homestay programs. In 2010, we have established the Foundation for Global Children to promote support for the children all over the world.

In Japan, since the Great East Japan Earthquake, weʼ ve been providing continuous support to the local communities. Our overseas activities are done mainly in the Asian-African region. We help set up medical and educational environments for the children to care for their physical and mental health. In addition, we support childrenʼs healthy development through sports.
