Sayaka Murata

Social Entrepreneur
Sayaka, a laureate of The Outstanding Young Person from Junior Chamber International in 2007, is a development aid worker with a long and vast experience. She started Kamonohashi project when she was a sophomore at Ferris University. Her fist exposure to a six-year-old child prostitute in a Southeast Asian country in 2001 determined her course of life. With the knowledge of severe life experience that those prostitutes undergo, Sayaka first started lobbying and awareness enhancement, which led her to the Second World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children later that year. Fortunate encounters with like-minded people of her generation made Kamonohashi possible in 2002. She graduated from university in 2004 with a BA in International Exchange. Her field experiences are found in Japanese print in “Meeting numerous obstacles: A 19-year-old addresses eradication of child trafficking” from PHP Institute.

Kamonohashi project’s mission is to prevent children from being sexually exploited in the world. It first provided ICT training for those who were given refuge at the orphanage. Approximately 120 acquired necessary skills. Afterward, she also started hiring 100 women from underprivileged families and provided a community factory for handicraft making so that they earn enough and keep their children home. They now send children to school instead of work.
