Speaker
■ Mio Harahata
When I was a student at Matsuyama University, I established an organization to discuss social issues. Also organized lectures by people who are trying to solve social problems and organized tours to visit the sites of their activities.
After graduating from the university, I joined Alibaba Japan, where I was involved in supporting Japanese companies in developing overseas sales channels. After that, I moved to Cambodia and worked as a manager at the largest Japanese recruitment agency in Cambodia for three years.
In 2019, I founded Social Match Co., Ltd. and has partnered with 107 social entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia countries and created more than 70 matches between Japanese and Southeast Asian social entrepreneurs.
I heard from many social entrepreneurs about the challenges they face in terms of finance, and I was looking for a way to support them. Then I met NFT and I started SociaRich in 2022.
■ Mr. Samith May
He was diagnosed with polio at the age of 8 months and began living in a wheelchair at the age of 14.
“I can change society because I am a related party.” He said so and established PPCIL, a center for independent living for people with disabilities, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2009.
PPCIL holds workshops to help people with disabilities become self-reliant, create barrier-free environment throughout Cambodia, and develop food business to create jobs for people with disabilities.
Mr. Samith is also a national member of the general department of disability action council to establish a support system for people with disabilities.
