March Activity Report
01Recycling Business
At the MAGO BLOCK III local production factory, we are test-manufacturing original local tiles and other products based on the manufacturing technology taught to us by Fuji Slate Co., Ltd.
In addition, local staff are continuously handling machine maintenance with the support of our Japanese partner companies.
We will continue to work with local staff to build a stable foundation so that this can become a sustainable business!
This Instagram account also provides updates on how chairs and tables made from locally produced recycled materials are being used in schools! Please take a look.

02EV Business
Full wrap advertising was installed on a total of three completed vehicles, including the first EV bus, which was assembled last month, by our partner company. The official announcement is scheduled to coincide with the launch event at the University of Ghana, and we are currently coordinating with the university authorities.
At the factory, we are daily preparing by checking essential items for launch, such as test driving, certification acquisition, driver management, and vehicle maintenance.
In addition, the assembly of the fourth vehicle has begun, and it is scheduled to run at the University of Ghana sequentially.
While creating a system that can make a big impact in Ghana, we are also continuing technical training for local staff so that it leads to a sustainable business.
Our goal is to first achieve stable operation and steadily expand the business!
03Agriculture Business
Limited edition moringa cookies are now available!

04Poultry Farming Business
Although chicken egg production has entered a stable period and yields are gradually decreasing, we are still maintaining levels in the latter half of 10,000 units. Going forward, we will proceed with sales as meat and the introduction of new chicks.
In line with this, regarding the new poultry farm that we have been planning since last year, we have narrowed down the candidate operating locations to several and have entered the stage of sequentially signing contracts. Preparations are also underway for additional personnel and chicks.
Initially, we will start with 2,000 birds and gradually expand to over 4,000 birds!
We will continue to create a mechanism that can generate further operating profit and employment by building a stable business foundation.
05Football Business
MAGO OLD FADAMA STARS FC played its final game of the first season, which began in December of last year. The opponent was the team we lost badly to 0-4 in the previous match, and it was a very important game where a loss would mean finishing 5th, while a win would secure 4th place and a spot in the cup competition. We went into halftime with a 2-1 lead, scored another goal in the second half, and ultimately won 3-1.
Match highlights:
With this result, our season record ended with 8 wins, 4 losses, and 5 draws, placing us in 4th position. Although we won't be promoted this season, we have qualified for the cup competition and will aim for victory.

06Art Business
A talk event featuring Teruhisa Kitahara, known for "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (Lucky Find! Anything Appraisal Group), and Mago Nagasaka was held at BARNEYS NEW YORK Ginza Main Store.
Many people visited the venue on the day, where Kitahara and Nagasaka recounted their first meeting, Nagasaka's challenge in Ghana, and the birth of his representative Ghana Series works. They also shared their aspirations for the year and concepts for new endeavors, discussing their vision for the future of the people and town of the slum.
We are sincerely grateful that so many customers visited us over the past seven months.
The second solo exhibition of "BONBO STARS," artists from the slums of Ghana, Africa, was held, showcasing over 100 works.
A reception party was also held during the exhibition. A live connection was established with the BONBO STARS artists in Ghana, allowing for self-introductions and Q&A sessions, providing an opportunity for interaction between the artists and visitors, who are usually separated by the ocean. During the exhibition, many visitors came and had the chance to experience the artists' feelings embedded in their works and the background of their expressions.
Thank you all very much for attending.
BONBO STARS artworks are being exhibited for the first time in Gifu Prefecture.
The exhibition features a warm layout that utilizes wood materials, as well as a wide selection of books, merchandise, moringa tea, and more. Artworks are also available for purchase.
