Epson has again puts its corporate weight behind a cause that helps to provide school meals to children in Africa and Asia – the Onigiri Action initiative, organised by global food insecurity non-profit, TABLE FOR TWO International (TFT).
Epson is supporting not-for-profit TABLE FOR TWO'S Onigiri Action initiative for a third consecutive year
Onigiri Action is a social initiative in which participants post photos of onigiri - a traditional Japanese food - on social media platforms such as Instagram, X and Facebook or on a dedicated campaign website. For each photo posted, sponsoring companies donate the equivalent of five school meals, which are delivered to children in Africa and Asia through TFT. The campaign is held annually in celebration of World Food Day on October 16th and this year runs through to November 17th.
Epson has a stated committment to ‘achieving sustainability and enriching communities through social initiatives in the areas of the environment, society, and economics’, naming nine actions it should take in these areas.
Two of them - eliminate disparities and assist children in need - align directly with the mission of Onigiri Action, hence its ongoing sponsorship of this initiative.
Epson is inviting submissions for the Full Heart and Stomach Prize, an Onigiri Action sponsoring partner award in the TFT's Onigiri Photo Grand Prix category. The grand prize winner of this partner award, selected from among those who post photos of the most delicious-looking, smile-inducing onigiri, will be presented with an Epson printer.
In addition to this, Epson’s sponsorship once again includes the production of free printable items, featuring onigiri-themed designs, to encourage broader participation in Onigiri Action. Six unique designs will be available, allowing participants to enjoy the campaign while using the prints as part of their onigiri-related photos. This year, in addition to a continued collaboration with Nissan Serena, new designs will also be introduced through partnerships with organizations like Oisix ra daichi Inc.
