I want to change the world! Anyone, including individuals and organizations, can freely and free of charge launch a petition campaign. The content varies from familiar to global scale, and campaigns are developed on a wide range of themes such as the natural environment, human rights, and politics, and are a force to change the world.

So far, campaigns such as I want my high school to introduce renewable energy and Partnership system in Tokyo have been implemented.

So far, support other than donations has been implemented, such as introducing several campaigns on Mamma Naturals official Facebook and gathering supporters. Together with Change.org, we aim to realize a better future.

An organization that supports the economic independence of poor regions through agricultural production support and fair trade activities. It is characterized by many activities that support women's independence. One of them, a project targeting women in East Timor, produced herbal tea and commercialized it as Aroma Timor. We have created a system where women can earn income directly. Also, in Sri Lanka, we are developing a sari recycling project with widows who lost their husbands. Donated old sarees are remade into bags and the like, which are sold at clothing stores and souvenir shops in Sri Lanka, as well as being wholesaled to Parsic.

Mamma Naturals also purchases and sells Cafe Timor, eco-bags from the Sally Recycle Project, and organically grown coffee Cafe Timor from Parcic. We support women living in harsh environments and producers suffering from poverty.

As the world is flooded with chemicals, more and more people are suffering from various health problems. Among them, there have been many reports of life-threatening symptoms caused by chemicals that are familiar to us, such as clothing made of chemical fibers and fragrances used in fabric softeners. The center supports people with chemical hypersensitivity who suffer from such situations and promotes the creation of a society that does not depend on chemicals. In addition, we are also focusing on the operation of recuperation facilities for people who have difficulty living in the general public due to chemical hypersensitivity.

Arai, who is the representative of Mamma Naturals, has also developed chemical sensitivity in the past, and received various consultations and advice at that time. We will continue to donate to the center so that the number of people with the same suffering will not increase any more.
