Ryoji Nagai

CEO's Message

While still in university, I lived in the Philippines for one year. For the first six months, I stayed at an orphanage while working with an NGO that provided poverty support in a rural area of the Philippines. I couldn't teach anything meaningful or helpful for the children, which left me feeling frustrated—so I began learning programming. Six months later, I moved to Manila and started my career as an engineer at a Japanese offshore development company.
Holding onto my gratitude for the opportunity the Philippines gave me, I started a service in Japan to support foreigners who come here hoping to change their difficult circumstances.
