Brief Introduction |
1. Resource and Development Division This Division is in charge of recruiting, collecting, and managing voluntary human resources, funds, and donated materials. The Division also plays an important role on furthering the function of social education, promoting the concept of a barrier-free environment, developing a friendly urban network, and creating a world without barriers. 2. Visually-Impaired Service and Development Division The vast sky is just a thin line in the eyes of the blind. Twenty years ago, they were only able to make a living as masseuses and fortunetellers. The talents they had were not equally recognized in the traditional society. However, while God closed the window of eyesight for them, He opened the door of music and radio broadcasting. Over the years, this Division has not only helped the blind expand their careers as masseuses through professional marketing strategies, but also has designed training courses, such as radio broadcasting classes and recording programming courses. It has established a barrier-free recording studio and two choirs, named Joyful Music and Joyful Grace, of which all the members are visually-impaired. 3. New Immigrants Development Division In the Bible, it says, โWhen an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself for your were aliens in Egyptโ (Leviticus 19:33-34). Therefore, Eden Foundation holds up the goals of โserving the minority and the weak,โ reaching out to the new immigrants in Taiwan, and trying to share all the glory, respect, and peace on this dynamic soil. 4. Professional Caring Service Team Based on the mindset of โcaring for all,โ our services target physically and mentally disabled people, who are 0-65 years old. We provide multiple social welfare services. The Professional Caring Service Team was established on January 1st, 2004 to integrate all of our services, so as to better suit the societal structure change and put into practice the nursing and caring services for the elderly, the heavily-disabled, and patients with chronic diseases. 5. Professional Career Service Team The concept of โall people are entitled to equal rightsโ is what Eden Foundation has been requesting from society. We are not asking for privileges. What we are searching for is human dignity, rather than pity. What we are trying to regain is selflessness, compassion, brotherhood, respect, and justice, rather than sympathy and separation. It is our devotion to assist physically challenged people to establish a career. To fulfill the goal, we have established various measures and vehicles including job capability assessment, characteristics orientation test, and course evaluation with cooperating corporations. We also provide in-job counseling services which cover the scope of mental and physical rehabilitation, life consultation, society skills lessons, job placement, and follow-ups. 6. Re-Establishment of Professional Skills Team We believe that every disabled person has a special talent to make a living. The disabled can be more than dependents and consumers but producers, providers, and givers as long as they are properly trained and provided with appropriate methods and working shelters on the basis of the capability of production. Our ultimate goal is to help them return to normal society. We provide job-training programs with a emphasis on the idea, โI am born to be capable in some ways.โ We try to encourage the disabled to step up to their careers by acquiring skills, turning them from thinking โI canโt, Iโm afraidโ to โThey can, why canโt I?โ 7. Early Intervention Treatment and Education Team Since 1994, Eden Foundation started to provide services for families of children with developmental delay in 13 cities and counties around the island. Weโve served more than 100,000 households. We hope to find developmentally-delayed children at an early stage and connect them to possible early-stage treatments. Furthermore, we hope to ensure childrenโs right to development by providing supportive services and setting up a trusting network with their families. 8. Caring Professions Team This team was established on January 1st, 2003, and integrated with diverse corporate sectors to form a team for caring professions. The team is operated with corporate methods, bearing in mind the common public welfare. The sector is composed of the following departments: Care Managers Office, Wheelchair and Other Assisting Vehicles Department, 921 Shelter Factory in NanTou, Public Welfare Marketing Department, Information Department, Barrier-Free Entertainment and Education Department, Barrier-Free Transportation Service Department, Telephone Marketing Department, and Digital Marketing Department 9. The Headquarter We provide well-rounded caring services focusing on the whole person and the whole life. The organization has professional divisions of labor, seeking growth through diversified and separated systems, enhancing our competence, and trying to obtain extensive resources. We all share the same values and try our best to maximize added values in society |
