| Several Mitsubishi Group companies have joined the TABLE
FOR TWO (TFT) program which aims to create a healthier
world by righting the imbalance between over-eating in
advanced countries and the malnutrition that exists in
developing countries. TABLE FOR TWO International was
founded in Japan in 2007, since which it has expanded
globally. The way it works in Japan is that ¥20, or a certain percentage, is added to the price
of a TFT-branded meal or food
product and this donation is used

TFT to provide school lunches in program countries in Africa. ¥20
is the cost of a single school meal
in a developing country. So, each
time someone in an advanced
country eats a TFT meal, they are
giving a meal to a schoolchild in
a developing country. From 2011
the TFT program has been helping
to fund school lunches in Uganda,
Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and
Rwanda. |

The project has already seen an increase in the number of
people using health centers in the area and in the number
of babies delivered safely. MC will continue to offer World
Vision Japan aid and support that leads to lower infant
mortality rates and to better health in pregnant and nursing
mothers. |
