Civichat.org (preparing to be established as a general incorporated association), which is responsible for "matching the administrative system and the needy" of Civichat Co., Ltd., learned the support system before falling into a difficult situation in a university class and lived from poverty. Implemented a program to protect.

 As the poverty problem becomes more serious in Japan, the support system is complicated and difficult to understand.It is said that there are many cases where people who are covered by the support system think that they are not covered by the support system, and there are cases where the person or family loses their lives by not knowing the system.The poverty problem surrounding young people is particularly serious, with 15% (34 in 26) of the working population aged 4 to 1 belonging to non-regular employment, unemployment, or unemployed, as well as students. However, "young carers" who have no choice but to take care of their families are also regarded as problems.

 Given this situation, Civichat.org has developed an educational program called "Poverty Training" with citizen volunteers. "Poverty training" is a one-frame educational program to save lives when students fall into poverty in the future.The content is to learn the support system and try the support system guidance system before falling into a difficult situation, and utilize the support system guidance system called Civichat (users are free of charge).

 Civichat recommends a system that can be used by entering your situation in a chatbot format from LINE etc.For this reason, students do not have to understand and remember the entire system, and if they do not cancel their friend registration and use it as a talisman, they can quickly search for a public support system in case of need. ..

 This time, this "prevention training" was carried out in earnest for 64 students in a university class for the first time.Students impersonate the fictional character written on the card and look for a public support system that can be used in the situation of the card.After that, you will experience both normal internet search and use of Civichat. When I examined the number of public support systems and awareness of poverty and systems that I knew before and after "prevention training," I took items such as "I can live even if I fall into poverty" and "I am not ashamed to receive public support." It is said that it rose afterwards.

 Discussing the enhancement of the social security system without preparing for poverty can be "treatment without prevention". Civichat.org is promoting efforts to prevent poverty problems in advance by optimizing the matching of public systems in collaboration with educational institutions and governments. We are developing an educational business by utilizing it in Japan.Furthermore, in collaboration with NPOs that work on poverty alleviation in each region, we are working on problems that support does not reach.Currently, we are preparing to establish a general incorporated association, and the website is temporarily open to the public.
