サポートを必要とする人たちのスタートの場所
〜まずは居場所を。から始まった支援。

立ち上げのスタートはお母さん方の涙でした。子どもの困難に気づいた瞬間から１人で思い悩み、出来る事を探し、自分の事を考える間もなく不安を抱える母親の涙。その涙を分かち合い、助け合うために始めた放課後等デイサービス事業。たくさんの皆さんの協力で出来上がったspace Kid’sは、これからもずっと子供たちの笑顔あふれる居場所であり続けます。

A place where people needing support can start
First, a place to belong. That’s where support begins.

Mothers’ tears served as our original impetus. From the moment they become aware of their children’s difficulties, mothers shed tears—worrying alone, searching out what to do, gripped by anxieties, without time to think of themselves. These mothers understood each other’s tears and started an after-school daycare service as a way of helping each other. space Kid’s was created through the cooperation of many people, and will always be a place where children can belong, brimming with smiling faces.

真の自立を目指す人たちと社会との架け橋
〜事業の創造へ。と続く支援。

障害者とはハンディキャップを持つ人々の総称にしか過ぎません。全ての人と同じように一人一人には名前があり、個性があり、それぞれが夢や希望にあふれています。
個人としっかりと向き合うことでたくさんの出来る事も見えてくる。出来る事の一つ一つをどのように何に役立てていくか。それを考えるのは義務でも責任でもなく、小さな子どもの頃から関わってきた私たちにとっては大きな喜びです。
しかし事業の創造という支援は企業側の協力なくしては出来ません。仕事の「切り出し」ではなく「創造」を。私たちが架け橋となり、サポートをする側と受ける側が一緒になって新しい社会を創り出す。それが私たちの次のステップです。

A bridge between society and people
aiming for true independence
Creating a business. And providing continuing support.

“Person with a disability” is just a generic term for people with handicaps. Each such individual has a name, personality, hopes, and dreams—just like everyone else. By treating each person as an individual, one comes to see there are many things they can do, and how each of their abilities can be put to use. Thinking in this way is not a duty or a responsibility, but for those of us who have been involved since these people were young children, it is a great joy. However, without cooperation from corporations, support for creating businesses is not possible. The idea is to create work, not divide it to make it easier. By serving as the bridge between the supporter and supported sides we will create a new society together. That is our next step.
