The Daiwa Express Group has donated all proceeds from in-house charity events, etc., and this year we donated 400,000 yen to the “Kobe Society for Orphans of Traffic Victims” in Kobe City. This year is the 16th year of this initiative, and the other day we received an appreciation letter from the association.
The “Kobe Society for Orphans of Traffic Victims (Subaru no Kai)” is engaged in a project to promote the welfare of families with traffic orphans in Kobe City based on donations.
In an interview with the person in charge, we heard that although the number of traffic orphans in the city has decreased compared to the beginning of the association’s establishment, it has not yet reached zero, and that he would like to aim for a future in which traffic accidents will further decrease due to advances in autonomous driving technology and the association itself will no longer be necessary.
As a company that conducts business activities using transportation infrastructure, we will continue to make sincere efforts to reduce traffic accidents and strongly hope that the number of children orphaned by traffic will decrease.
