What is "kodomo-no-sono"
Living Together
"Kodomo-no-sono" is an orphanage where forty children and about twenty staffs are living together.
This institution is based on the spirit of Christianity(Anglican Church).
People today keep on living without knowing what life is about. The children come to us with a lot of serious problems and various reasons.
"Kodomo-no-sono" accepts these children, and we become their family.
We try to create the new living place for them.
Our purpose is to give them "peace of mind", and we always pray. "Let us live together" is our life.
We have staffs who experience the joy of staying with children and solving delicate problems.
And so far we have hope. We all keep growing here.
