The first step,
and the last.
People with nowhere safe to spend tonight. People stuck short of a public counter, unable even to make a call.
We take that first step, and that last step, together with citizens.
The net of support is widening.
WHO WE ARE
Finding society's
questions early.
Losing your housing happens in stages. We are an organization that reaches into the stage before that — the point where someone has not yet told anyone. Working with local shops and venues, we fill the gap between trouble starting and reaching a public scheme.

WHAT WE DO
Places of refuge,
built into the city.
Sekai Bivouac is a system in which shops and venues around the city become pickup spots. Each pack holds what is needed for one night's emergency accommodation, one meal, a way to travel, and a charger to stay contactable.
Notice
Pick up early signs of trouble in someone's life, from social media and consultation desks.
Take them in
They reach the nearest Sekai Bivouac and spend that night in safety.
Talk it through
From the next day, set up somewhere they can talk to a public counter or a support organization.
Walk alongside
Stay with them, in whatever form it takes, until they reach housing where they can feel safe.

¥3,000for one night
A night in an internet café costs ¥2,400. This secures somewhere to be tonight and a meal, and delivers a way to travel and a charger to stay contactable. It carries a person through until the next form of support begins.
