Efforts of the Kyocera Labor Union
|
| In the Kyocera Labor Union, employees proactively promote service toward society. |
| Comfort and Financial Support for the Nazare-en in Gyeongju, Korea |
|
| Nazare-en is a welfare home for Japanese women who married young Korean men before and after World War II, and in the confusion after the war lost husbands or family through death or distance. In addition to traveling to visit them each year, each union branch provides financial support through volunteer charity drives. |

| Donation of Deep Wells in the Philippines |
|
| In the Philippines, outdoor wells about 4-7 meters deep are used, and many communities exist where waterborne diseases and parasites are prevalent. In order to provide safe water from deeper wells to children and communities, the Kyocera labor union is continually making donations, which have resulted in the digging of 78 deep wells. |

| Foster Parenting Efforts |
|
| Kyocera Labor Union members act as foster parents for children who live in developing countries. Interacting through letters, photos and pictures, they support these children and also financially support activities that encourage self-sufficiency in the communities where these children live. Currently a total of 14 foster parents at 13 union branches provide support for children. |
|
 |
| Charity Bazaars |
|
| During the summer festivals held at each Kyocera factory and office in Japan, employees hold a charity bazaar. The bazaars sell unused items from employee households, and the proceeds are donated to community welfare groups. |
