Our Partners

We could not operate successful scholarship programs overseas without our in-country partners, whom we can trust and share the same values. We are grateful to our fantastic partners.

1. Our partner in Japan – The International Angel Association(https://www.angel-ngo.gr.jp/)

The International Angel Association was established in 1982 in Hyogo, Japan, by Mrs Yuriko Kawamura, who wished to return the love and support given to her daughter, Naoko, born with cerebral palsy, to more needy people in developing countries. Their mission is to spread “love over the world”.

A message from Mrs. Mariko Higashimura. "The International Angel Association was founded by my mother, Yuriko Kawamura, in Hyogo in 1982. In 1985, we expanded our activities overseas and opened an orphanage in Bangladesh to give opportunities for education to well-motivated orphans and children from impoverished families. Since we first met Mr Yamaguchi in 2014, WSO has awarded scholarships to our children. Many have got jobs in their chosen areas and started new lives. We have many more children needing your help. Thank you very much for your continued support."
