Gentille aims to support people who are struggling financially even though they are working, as well as people who want to work but cannot. In particular, we focus on activities that support people of working age who are experiencing financial hardship. We operate using our own funds. This allows us to spend our time on supporting users rather than fundraising, and to provide flexible, user-first support without being restricted by external conditions such as donations or grants.
Our main activity is a food support service in Shibuya, Tokyo, where we provide free food to people facing difficulties due to circumstances such as being a single parent, having a disability or illness, raising many children, caring for family members, or having work restrictions. We also provide household budget consultations for our users.
