A place to build “connections,” not just “support”

Gocha-maze House, operated by the general incorporated association mahaLim,
has “three methods” that it values.
—


1. Connect naturally

~Relationships before support~
Instead of saying “please consult us,”we start by eating together.

By chatting, laughing, and
spending time together,

a relationship of trust is gradually born.
—


2. From being supported to supporting others

~Roles foster self-esteem~
Children help serve meals,young people volunteer,

and the elderly teach local cuisine.
The experience of being useful to someone
nurtures the feeling that “I can do it too.”

3. “Mixing it up” revitalizes the community

~No separation by generation or status~
Children, the elderly, and young people.Whether they have a disability or not.

By having all kinds of people naturally mix together,
a community where no one is isolated is gradually born.

Gocha-maze House is

not just a “place to be.”


It is a place to restore the “circulation between people.”

It is not just about being supported.You can also become someone who supports others.

That is the kind of community
we are aiming for.
