Inagi City Family Support Center Project

The Inagi City Family Support Center project is a mutual support activity in which people who want to receive assistance with child-rearing (user members) and people who want to provide assistance with child-rearing (user members) support child-rearing in the community.
We can help with picking up and dropping off children and providing short-term care.
