Taki Corporation Provides Educational Support Through Design to Children in Nepal

Taki Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo Ward, Tokyo; President and CEO: Juichi Takizawa) will visit Nepal from Saturday, November 14, to Sunday, November 22, 2026, as part of “TAKI SMILE DESIGN LABO” (hereinafter “SDL”), the company’s social contribution project.During the visit, from Monday, November 16, to Wednesday, November 18, the company plans to hold a workshop at “Shree Saraswati Secondary School,” a public school in Ramche Village, Sindhupalchok District, for children who have limited opportunities to receive character education.

A workshop titled “Thinking About Solving Village Issues Through Design,” held at a public school in Ramche Village in 2025

“SDL,” a social contribution project undertaken by Taki Corporation, is an initiative led by volunteers within the company that began with the question: “What kind of social contribution can we, as professionals in the advertising industry, make?” Guided by the goal of “creating smiles through the power of design,” we have carried out various activities both in Japan and abroad.

We first visited Ramche Village in Nepal in 2017, and this will be our seventh visit. At this school, where we provide ongoing support, we aim to promote the children’s creativity and learning through design-based educational support.

This year, in addition to a “Communication Design” workshop, we collaborated with the school’s teachers to develop and conduct a session using “Design Thinking” to address the village’s challenges. The program received high praise from the school, and we are continuing to refine it further.

We also engage in a wide range of activities, such as collecting supplies and donations internally to provide cosmetics to the women of Ramche Village and offering ongoing support to facilities for people with disabilities and orphanages.

In addition, last year we shared the results of our workshops with professors from the University of Kathmandu and exchanged views on the significance of these activities within Nepal and the potential for future collaboration. We hope to develop these efforts into more sustainable educational support by working hand in hand with local institutions of higher education.

This year, we will once again provide grade-appropriate activities for 93 students in grades 1 through 10 at the public school in Ramche Village. For lower and middle grades, we will share the joy of creating through communication design, while for upper grades, we will continue the activities started last year that tackle the village’s challenges.We are making preparations to support the children’s growth. In addition, we will continue to provide ongoing support to local organizations.

Please see below for details on the “SDL” activities.
