HERO PROJECT
Hero Project aims to create heroes
that will guide children to a bright future.
Hero Project is a project to change the future.
REALE WORLD have been working, not only for the children in Japan, but for the children in Nepal for 16 years to make brighter future.
However, in order to change these children, we realized it is necessary to change their surrounding people, adults and young adults, who can guide them regularly.
The ultimate way of this conclusion is the Hero Project. It aims to create role models that can become a hero for the children, so they can lead the children’s well-being and way of life to a brighter world.
Different approaches on creating heroes.
There is no single “right answer” to how we should live our lives. No one can say for sure which way of living is correct.
However, if we can believe in ourselves, make the most of our talents, and live with gratitude, then perhaps that is a way of life that transcends race, nationality, and religion—a way that allows all people to live with joy.
Practicing “awakening to your potential, making efforts, and living by expressing your talents,” and guiding children and those around you through the way you live—
Our “Hero Project” is an initiative to nurture such heroes among athletes who have dreams and determination but are still unknown to the world.
REALE WORLD provides these young, yet-to-be-known individuals with the “skills,” “environment,” and “mindset” they need to take on the world.
And when they take their first steps forward, their example inspires the next generation to follow—
This chain reaction is the very essence of the Hero Project.
Though we are a small NPO, by raising heroes who share our mission across many regions, we can positively influence countless children and guide them toward brighter futures.
At REALE WORLD, we are developing the Hero Project from many different angles to cultivate these heroes.
