This time, we would like to report about the "Online Pro Bono" program. This is a program which participants allocate about 20% of their work time to tackle social issues in Asia remotely from Japan.

Moemi and Maya who are working in Astellas Pharma Inc., joined this program for three months from December 2020. The recipient organization was Laos Buffalo Dairy (LBD), which is a social enterprise working to improve the livelihood of small farmers in rural Laos.

“We want to utilize our skills and take on challenges to tackle social issues in Laos society, without visiting on site”
