We are celebrating the 10th Onigiri Action this year. Even if the power of each individual is small, we can come together to change the world. Together, we are creating a tomorrow that is just a little bit better than today. Without you, we couldn’t have made it this far in our journey. We are delivering school meals to many children and supporting their learning and dreams. We express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been supporting us.
OUR IMPACT
10million School Meals
The number of school meals delivered
By 2023, we delivered over 10 million school meals, providing for approximately 5,600 children each year for nine years.
1.85million Photos
Number of photos posted
Between 2015 and 2023, through the 9 Onigiri Action campaigns, we collected 1.85 million photos of Onigiri. If you were to stack 1.85 million sheets of 0.2mm thick photo paper, the stack would be approximately 370 meters high- taller than Tokyo Tower, which stands at 333 meters.
66countries, 5 continents
The number of countries participated
Onigiri Action is a social good initiative open to anyone worldwide. To date, we've received onigiri photos from 66 countries across all continents, excluding Antarctica.
