About our social contribution efforts

The MERGERICK Group, which operates Hello Mart, has entered into a co-creation partnership with the Rochas Foundation , the largest foundation in Africa.

The Rochas Foundation provides free food, clothing, shelter and education to conflict orphans and street children across Africa, and currently has approximately 25,000 students enrolled in 183 schools from kindergarten to university.

At Hello Mart, 50% of our profits are donated to the Rochas Foundation to purchase educational materials (pencils, notebooks, etc.), improve educational standards, and improve the quality of living and food.

We have now launched two new educational projects led by our company: the "Agricultural Support Project" and the "Baseball Promotion Project."

Agricultural Support Project

Africa's food self-sufficiency rate is around 60%.
I'm in a situation where I can only eat one meal a day.

First, we grow vegetables and fruits, and after harvesting, we produce vegetable powder and dried fruits.
We provide nutritious food to help support your health.

Baseball Promotion Project

In addition to soccer and basketball, which are popular in Africa, we are promoting baseball as a new sport that can utilize physical potential.
Locally-based staff members, including former Koshien baseball player Manat and Amir , originally from Burkina Faso in Africa and who learned baseball in Japan, will give lectures to students and local residents to teach them about ethics, discipline, etiquette and manners, and to develop human resources who can thrive on the world stage.

In addition, by manufacturing and providing gloves locally using traditional Japanese sewing techniques and then selling them worldwide, we hope to create jobs in new industries.

Please support the project

The reality is that Africa still faces many problems, including poverty, conflict, and viruses.
There are many children out there who need help.
While we want to help these children, there are limits to what we can do alone.

We would like to gain sympathy and support from as many people as possible and expand the "circle of goodwill."

By using Hello Mart, 50% of profits will go towards helping children.
We are also seeking project support to help spread the "circle of goodwill."

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Finally, we would like to ask as many people as possible to use our shop, support our project, and give their support.
