We, Ajinomoto Group, continually strive to promote a healthy and energetic
society with global corporate philanthropy activities focusing on "nutrition
and health".
Since 1999, as part of these activities operated around the world, we
have concentrated on improving the quality of life of the people in developing
countries, and have supported improvement activities in the fields of
"food, nutrition and health" in collaboration with NGOs etc.
in some countries.
To expand and enhance these activities even further, We will implement
the "Ajinomoto International Cooperation for 'Nutrition and Health'
Support Program".
This program aims to support local communities in developing countries
by providing grants for international cooperation activities that could
contribute to improving society in the fields of "food, nutrition
and health".
In the current fiscal year, this program will support activities mainly
in Southeast Asia and South America.
We are pleased to support activities that promote development in these
countries through this program, and look forward to receiving applications
from interested groups.
