Huashan Social Welfare Foundation

For the past 26 years, the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation has provided free in-home care services to underprivileged elderly individuals across Taiwan—nearly 30,000 seniors—many of whom live alone, face physical disabilities, or suffer from dementia.

Taiwan has now entered an aging society. According to the Ministry of the Interior, more than 20 percent of the population in Taiwan is citizens over the age of 65 in 2025, surpassing the WHO’s threshold for a “super-aged” society. Ensuring the welfare of senior citizens has become an urgent issue that requires close attention and joint action from both the government and society.

Since its founding, Huashan has established nearly 400 “Community Halfway Stations”—local care centers in every township, including outlying islands such as Kinmen and Penghu. The goal is to expand to 747 stations, reaching one for every 30,000 residents, so that essential elderly care services can be accessible to every community in Taiwan.

The services include home visits by volunteers, accompaniment to medical appointments, bathing assistance, delivery of daily necessities, and referrals to suitable long-term care facilities, among other forms of support.

Fundraising Campaign

For decades, Huashan Foundation has stood beside the elderly, offering care, dignity, and comfort. The service vehicles are at the heart of this mission — bringing elders to medical appointments, delivering warm meals, and ensuring that help reaches every corner of the community. But after years of braving rough roads and harsh weather, many of these vehicles are no longer safe or reliable. To keep this lifeline strong, Huashan Foundation is launching a fundraising campaign to replace and renew their fleet. With your support, they can build a safer, more dependable transportation network, ensuring that every elder continues to receive the warmth, care, and respect they deserve.
