Every year, we have three months campaign for “NEC Make-a-Difference Drive (MDD)” from October to December.

[UNICEF Foreign Coin Donation]
NEC supports health, nutrition, water, hygiene, and education for developing countries through the activities of the Japan Committee for UNICEF in the drive to protect the life and sound development of children in these countries.
Foreign coins collected by volunteers are sent to the Japan Committee for UNICEF, and help children in developing countries in the following ways.

1. Coins are sorted by country of origin.
2. The Japan Committee for UNICEF works with five private companies to send the coins to foreign countries.
3. The coins are exchanged into US dollars in these countries and deposited in a Japan Committee for UNICEF account.
4. Ten US dollars, for example, can buy 500 vitamin A capsules that will help prevent vision loss.
