"Leaving no child behind in our sustainable services"
The core values of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) advocate for global development that leaves no one behind, ensuring that the needs of current generations are met without compromising the survival needs of future generations. It aims to create a better living environment for the next generation.
For the Taiwan Fund For Children and Families (TFCF), children are our primary service recipients, and "sustainability" is more than just a slogan. Whether in the practical implementation of service actions or communication with the public, Home Support is fully committed to international sustainable development:
- In terms of services, based on the practical needs on the ground, TFCF's seven overseas branch offices (Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Eswatini, Vietnam, Cambodia, Jordan, and the Philippines) not only provide life assistance but also emphasize a sustainable approach. Using a "participatory action" methodology that is people-centered, this includes infrastructure development, empowerment, and promoting community resilience. This approach aims to instigate conceptual and knowledge changes in children and their families and communities, providing localized, child-appropriate, and sustainable services.
- In communication on these issues, TFCF regularly organizes campus lectures, salon sharing sessions, exhibitions, and experiential games, attracting Taiwanese citizens to join TFCF in paying attention to international and sustainable issues. This enhances awareness and involvement in international services.
Cultivating community resilience, implementing global localization
TFCF's overseas services go beyond basic survival assistance, such as providing financial aid and supplies. There is a focus on the developmental aspect of services, injecting resources to actively raise awareness among local people about children's rights and the importance of community sustainable development. The goal is to assist children in need, their families, and their communities in promoting community resilience and improving the environment for children's growth.
To further implement global localization and enhance professional services, TFCF has established direct services in seven overseas countries. Taiwanese personnel are stationed in these locations to provide assistance and development work. This not only brings TFCF's social work expertise to different countries but also involves hiring local resources as social workers. The organization is dedicated to empowering local colleagues to take on managerial roles, developing participatory action and localized service solutions in different countries, with the ultimate aim of achieving long-term goals in localization and sustainable development.
