Honghe Prefecture Children Welfare Institute

The Honghe Prefecture Children’s Welfare Institute has continually enhanced its internal capabilities since its establishment, focusing on improving the speed, warmth, and accuracy of its services. The institute aims to provide a nurturing and high-quality environment for orphaned children, ensuring their growth and well-being.

Enhancing Operational Capability to Improve “Speed”

The institute strives to refine its nurturing approach by integrating services such as upbringing, healthcare, and social placement. It regularly conducts maintenance, rehabilitation, special education, and social work skills training to enhance staff proficiency. Personalized services are provided to children based on individual assessments. For example:

• Disabled children primarily receive rehabilitation and educational training.

• Mentally challenged children focus on intellectual development.

• School-age children concentrate on academic improvement.

With love, patience, and meticulous care, the institute fosters a warm family atmosphere that promotes the healthy growth of every abandoned child.

Guiding Children’s Growth to Increase “Warmth”

The institute emphasizes cultivating self-care skills in children. Children below third grade are taught good life habits, while those above third grade are encouraged to take on personal responsibilities. Additionally:

• Children are involved in activities such as garbage collection and dishwashing within the institute, helping them develop practical life skills.

• School-age children undergo disciplined hygiene inspections, and rewards and penalties are implemented accordingly.

Cultural performances during festivals give children opportunities to showcase their talents and rebuild their confidence. Monthly hiking and camping trips allow children to connect with nature. Bi-monthly family meetings under the theme “Children Have Something to Say” provide a platform for children to express their needs and train them in effective communication. Weekly awards recognize exemplary behavior, motivating children to improve and express themselves.

Improving Regulations and Procedures to Enhance “Accuracy”

The institute has implemented a comprehensive management system with scientifically sound procedures and operational manuals. This ensures systematic compliance, efficiency, and accountability. The institute conducts thorough assessments of adoptive, foster, and support families to safeguard the best interests of the children.

These initiatives highlight the institute’s commitment to providing a structured, nurturing environment where orphaned children can thrive and grow in a supportive atmosphere.
