Authorized Specified Non-Profit Organization CLOUDYandFire Works Co., Ltd.announced today the launch of the “CLOUDY x MR.BROTHERS CUT CLUB” BARBER ACADEMY PROJECT in GHANA.
(Details can also be found here ▶︎press release）
In Ghana, which has a population of 30 million, 80% of the population belongs to the informal sector (so-called day laborers), and the high unemployment rate, especially among young people, has become a problem in recent years. Since 2010, we have been working to create employment opportunities in Ghana, Africa.NPO CLOUDY formed a partnership with MR.BROTHERS CUT CLUB operated by Fireworks Co., Ltd., and established the “CLOUDY × MR.BROTHERS CUT CLUB” BARBER ACADEMY in the capital of Ghana to create educational opportunities and employment through the development of barbers in Ghana. The school will open in Accra in 2023.
This project aims to contribute to the further development of Ghana by establishing barber culture as a universal presence, rather than a trend that is digested by the flow of time. In the future, we aim to create a future that will lead to job creation that will lead to solving the problem of the youth unemployment rate in Ghana, such as supporting the opening of business for graduates and providing opportunities to play an active role overseas. .
In addition, in preparation for the opening of the “CLOUDY x MR.BROTHERS CUT CLUB” BARBER ACADEMY, we are planning to implement crowdfunding and hold a POP-UP at the Isetan Shinjuku store.
A promotion event will be held at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building from November 2nd (Wednesday) to 15th (Tuesday). In addition to limited items that can only be obtained here, we have prepared a space where you can see the state of the local Ghanaian barber.
Date: November 2nd (Wednesday) to 15th (Tuesday)
Place: Isetan Shinjuku Store Men's Building 1st Floor Promotion Space

Aiming to open the school in 2023, we will start crowdfunding at CAMPFIRE from October 25th (planned) with the goal of 5 million yen under the title of “CLOUDY x MR.BROTHERSCUT CLUB” BARBER ACADEMY in GHANA.
We will raise the necessary funds for the opening of the school, such as equipment costs and the improvement of the living environment for students.
For return items, we have limited items that cannot be obtained through this crowdfunding. Together with everyone's feelings, we will deliver action to Africa.
Crowdfunding implementation period: October 25 (Tue)-November 30 (Wed) (planned)
Target amount: 5 million yen
