About the social part of Anosupo and last year's track record

With the mission of "reducing the number of stateless people in the world to zero," this company helps children acquire nationality through annotation, an essential part of AI development.

Our assistance targets parents and stateless children who have fled their country due to poverty.

First, the family returns to their home country with a promise between us and the parents of employment. Parents are given the opportunity to work for us, and children are supported to obtain citizenship and attend public schools.

In FY2022, two families returned home and eight children acquired nationalities, and in FY2023, we aim to return 50 families and allow 200 children to acquire nationalities through the expansion of our services in Japan and abroad, and through collaboration with NGOs working to support statelessness.
