A Pro Bono Program in Support of Nonprofits and Social Businesses Tackling Social Problems: Assisting Kizuki and Kids Public in the first term
2018-02-19
PwC’s purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. To put our purpose into practice, this pro bono program supports nonprofits and social businesses that work to solve social problems, over a period of about six months.
Consisting of 10 to 15 consultants with a variety of specialties selected through in-house open recruitment, each project team helps solve the wide range of issues faced by the entity it supports.
In the first term, from May to September 2017, the program provided support to two entities: Kizuki and Kids Public.

Kizuki Co., Ltd. (Kizuki Kyoiku Juku private tutoring school)[Japanese] |
Entity overview |
Staying true to its philosophy of creating a society in which people can start over as many times as they want, Kizuki engages in various businesses that assist those facing difficulties. These include the Kizuki Kyoiku Juku private tutoring school that provides educational support for truants and individuals suffering from acute social withdrawal, as well as an undertaking to prevent dropouts in collaboration with a major professional training college group. The company was named “Kizuki” in the hope that it could help people to recognize their potential and build a future on their own terms, as kizuki is a homophone of the Japanese words meaning “recognize” and “build.” |
