Promoting Health and Delaying the Onset of Disabilities Together as a Vibrant Community

Eden Social Welfare Foundation

4F., No. 6, Wanhe St., Wenshan Dist., Taipei City 116, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

 

With an increasingly diverse society, the era when the physically and mentally disabled suffered from the "pitiful and sympathetic" looks of society has long since passed. What people with disabilities really need is not the sympathy of the world, but to support them in integrating with their community by making use of community-related resources, and sharing the same full community participation rights afforded to their able-bodied peers.

 

38 years ago, Ms. Liu Xia founded the Eden Social Welfare Foundation after witnessing discrimination against people with disabilities, many of whom were ostracized by society at large, and even ignored completely. The foundation was committed to speaking out for the rights and interests of disabled people in Taiwan. 38 years later, Eden has more than 200 service bases across Taiwan, ranging from vocational training and rehabilitation for the physically and mentally challenged, early treatment services to the establishment of care institutions. Over the past 15 years, we found that elderly people in communities around Taiwan have gradually needed more support and assistance, and this has spurred us to promote and provide home care services, as well as undertake many day care centers for the elderly. Due to the diversity of services offered, we are better positioned to understand the needs of disabled friends and their families. The Eden Foundation will continue to advocate for the rights of the underprivileged and maximize the use of donations from the public so that more disabled friends can enjoy unhindered community care.

 

The Eden Social Welfare Foundation firmly believes that challenging long-held assumptions in society is a key priority. As Eden attaches great importance to making people with disabilities feel at ease and fit in with their respective communities, it is also important to educate people on how to get along and interact with disabled friends. Eden also advocates that any person with a disability should enjoy the full use of resources in the community. In the past, the needs of disabled friends were often ignored, and they were forced to stay at home. The Eden Foundation believes that true equality is to allow ordinary people to make full use of community resources while at the same time allowing disabled friends to also enjoy unfettered access and secure living space within the community.

 

In terms of health promotion, the most important aspect is to promote inner happiness. For an unhappy person, no matter how much the community resources are made available to him/her, it will round out to zero if he/she remains unhappy. In addition to leading a happy life, Eden also strongly encourages the elderly to remain "active." It not only refers to exercise but also for the elderly to participate more within the community and socialize with other people. This is to prevent the seniors from drawing back from society due to their advancing age and leading a solitary life.

 

Therefore, the Eden Social Welfare Foundation has always emphasized that leading a happy and meaningful life means making full use of the community’s resources to remain active and blend in with the community. Eden is a strong believer that whether for disabled people or the elderly, the most important thing is to give oneself more opportunities to participate in various activities, to prevent or delay the onset of various disabilities.

 

Over the past 10 years, more and more people have realized the importance of continuous learning, and have taken up their part in social responsibility. In this respect, the Eden Social Welfare Foundation advocates that young students should know more about various social groups and understand the needs of each respective group. For example, the disabled are one such group, and the silver-haired elders are another group. Current students as well as people who have just entered the workforce can get to know more about NGOs by participating in various volunteering activities, where they can also gain an in-depth understanding of the perspectives and feelings of the people they are helping. Through these activities, they gradually learn how to interact with disabled friends or the elderly, and gain a deeper mutual understanding and respect for each other.

 

Social responsibility is extremely crucial for increasing the acceptance of and mitigating stigma towards disabled groups. Therefore, Eden Social Welfare Foundation hopes that by connecting with student associations and clubs, volunteer students can use their holidays or spare time to participate in volunteer services and learn related topics in various institutions. By injecting the enthusiasm and vitality of the student community into volunteer services for disabled and senior groups, it is hoped that compelling bonds and understanding through active interactions will be formed.

 

We are pleased to see that the concept of USR is slowly gaining traction in society, and we hope to connect more school communities by leveraging their volunteer resources. The Eden Social Welfare Foundation welcomes all school groups to contact us. Through continuous interactions and connections, more people can gain an understanding and appreciation for our work. We hope that more people can participate in our services, care for, and support the Foundation. Through various volunteering activities, we can all help ensure that disabled groups can fully enjoy warm and inviting community resources. Please support Eden and work with us to promote a worry-free and rich community life.
