We purchased a community house, research equipment, and renovation supplies. We have also been running build weeks for the last few months, allowing 30+ volunteers to come on-site to assist with renovating the house, and contributing to our open source playbook. 

We have prioritized raising awareness and educating the public about the challenges and opportunities associated with abandoned homes in Japan. We have initiated public education projects and satellite partners under our network, including the creation of an open-source information-sharing document detailing the process from sourcing and purchase to renovation. This resource has empowered at least 8 community members to place bids for acquiring abandoned homes, increasing the nodes for network contribution and experimentation. 

Our efforts have engaged 300 community members, fostering inclusivity and collaboration among those interested in rural revitalization. Our model has also gained international recognition, inspiring regional initiatives in countries like Italy and Korea who are undergoing similar crises.
