Confront World is an NGO working in Japan and Africa for international cooperation with the goal of “realizing a world without absurdity,” meaning realizing a society where people’s lives and rights are guaranteed, and everyone can decide their future. Two missions of the NGO are helping people in difficult situations due to conflict and poverty become self-reliant and facilitating people’s social contribution by providing information and choices. Under the missions, students and adult staff members work together to build schools and improve sanitation facilities.
In Butambala District, a rural area in the Republic of Uganda, people must walk two hours each way to draw water, which is essential for their lives. In addition, it is difficult for them to obtain soap and handwashing equipment which are needed to clean their hands. Confront World improves access to water by working together with local NGOs and constructing toilets, water storage tanks and water filters and producing soap. It also works on awareness raising by giving educational opportunities on hygiene to local communities.
Confront World was established in 2018 with the goal of realizing a world without absurdity. While volunteering at an orphanage in Kenya, Akinori Arai, who would be the president of the NGO at a later time, faced the death of a child. This led him to be committed to the realization of a world without absurdity. The main activities of Confront World are improving the hygienic environment in Africa and raising awareness in Japan.
