Heatstroke prevention initiatives for children in Japan

Overview

Efforts to mitigate heatstroke risks for children in Japan have involved both private corporate donations and municipal initiatives.

In late July and August 2026, MOTTERU Co., Ltd. donated cooling items, such as handheld fans and ice packs, to child welfare facilities in Kanagawa and Kumamoto Prefectures. These donations were intended to protect children from summer heat and to assist those in Kumamoto facing difficult conditions following the Reiwa 8 Kumamoto Earthquake.

In Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture, local authorities have launched a project to install air conditioning in school gymnasiums and martial arts halls. The city is seeking corporate support through the ‘Corporate Version Hometown Tax Donation’ system, which offers tax incentives to companies contributing to these heatstroke prevention measures.
