Reaching Zero-Dose Children has been an invaluable partner in our Reach Out Project for nearly two years. Their advocacy for “primary health care that leaves no one behind” effectively bridges healthcare delivery and policymaking. I fully support their bold mission and eagerly anticipate their continued efforts. I look forward to seeing Reaching Zero-Dose Children overcome the challenges faced by zero-dose children both in Japan and worldwide, driving transformative change grounded in academic expertise and the perspectives of youth.

Reaching Zero-Dose Children is a reliable ally in shaping global health policies through youth-driven awareness and advocacy which is a crucial element for policy-making to achieve global health. Together, as young leaders, let’s continue working to strengthen global health policy!
Yusuke Takahashi
Country Director, KOKO Plus Foundation
I’m Takahashi, working on improving nutrition for infants and school-aged children in Ghana. Recently, Ms. Katagiri, Executive Director of Reaching Zero-Dose Children, visited us here in the field. What I’ve truly felt on the frontlines of saving lives is the incredible power of youth. Young people can, and must, change the world. Every step you take shapes the future. I may be a bit older, but let’s walk this path together!
Kentaro Yoshikawa
Co-Founder, Famileaf Co.,Ltd.
Reaching Zero-Dose Children was launched by students who will truly shape the future of global health across borders. These youth stand out in every way, passion, action, creativity, and they are pouring their hearts into delivering vaccines to children worldwide. I believe their sincere efforts will ripple out to drive change not only in Japan but across the globe.
Masaki Umeda
Vice CEO, SORA Co.,Ltd.
Innovation rooted in the realities of the field is essential to ensure that zero-dose children are not left behind. SORA Technology is tackling the challenge of optimizing vaccine supply using drones and AI, in part through initiatives like the Gavi INFUSE program. We look forward to continuing this journey together!
Mihoko Kashiwakura
Head of East Asia Relations, Global Policy and Advocacy, Gates Foundation
Vaccines are one of the most effective tools to save children’s lives and are vital public goods in eradicating infectious diseases and preventing pandemics. Every day, around 13,400 under-five children, one in every second, are dying globally. At the Gates Foundation, under the belief that “every life has equal value,” we are working to ensure vaccines reach all children and reduce infant mortality. We deeply respect the work of Reaching Zero-Dose Children, who are reaching the most marginalized children with life-saving vaccines.
Yuki Yasumiba
Africa Asia Youth Nest／Youth TICAD 2025 Manager
I deeply resonate with Reaching Zero-Dose Children’s strong commitment to protecting children’s right to health. As fellow advocates shining a light on the voices that often go unheard, and as youth from Japan, I look forward to working together to build a better future.
Osamu Kunii, MD, MPH, PhD
CEO, Global Health Innovative Technology Fund (GHIT Fund)
Around 1.5 million children around the world lose their lives each year simply because they cannot access vaccines. I have worked firsthand to deliver vaccines and healthcare services in communities across Africa and Asia, and I know that much more support is still needed on the ground.
