A unique service called "OK Obaa chan" has been launched in Japan to provide additional assistance and emotional support to the population. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Within the framework of this project, grandmothers over the age of 60 can be rented for 3300 yen per hour, which is approximately 22 dollars. The service has elderly individuals aged between 60 and 94 registered.
Clients can choose grandmothers based on their needs and have the opportunity to utilize their services. The hired grandmothers assist with household chores, teach how to prepare delicious meals, and also create a positive environment through heartfelt conversations.
Often, people living alone or those in need of family care benefit from the love and care of the elderly through this service. Additionally, the service is also aimed at providing life experience and spiritual support to young people and children.
This initiative has sparked various opinions among the public. Some emphasize that this service is a new opportunity and a source of social activity for older adults.
Others express the need to seriously consider safety issues regarding bringing strangers into homes. Today, this project, which addresses the issue of loneliness in Japan, is expected to become a spiritual resource for many citizens.
It is worth noting that various rental services have developed in Japan. There are services not only for "grandmothers" but also for family members or temporary "rented uncles."
The "OK Obaa chan" project is managed by Client Partners, a company aimed at increasing women's employment. This company also offers clients services of a friend or temporary family member.
