What is Specific Non-Profit Organization Hope’s mission
NPO Hope is a specific non-profit organization in Japan.
Our goal is to create a society where people with various disabilities and elderly individuals can live freely and vibrantly.
To achieve this goal, we focus on disability welfare services, long-term care insurance services, and community life support services, as well as organizing events, volunteering, remote sign language interpretation, remote PC text interpretation, and online sign language classes (remote only).
Additionally, we offer various courses for companies, government agencies, organizations, universities, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and others in Chiyoda Ward and various locations in Tokyo.
