the purpose

Regardless of residence status, we have set up a counter where foreigners can receive professional advice and consultation regarding the various problems they face as local residents, and we provide multilingual lifestyle counseling for foreigners.
In cooperation with the Okinawa Bar Association, we provide legal consultation as needed to professionally support the living and labor aspects of foreign residents, and create a ``multicultural society'' where local residents and foreign residents can coexist comfortably. ”.

In addition, we hold related symposiums and seminars to foster understanding of the various issues faced by foreigners.
By training and registering professional interpreters (Legal/Life Supporters), we aim to strengthen the functions of OIHF's consultation desk.
