Annual Report Annual Report www.worldvision.org.tw In Exodus 33:14, the Lord said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Serving vulnerable children and families is an arduous task, but through God's grace and your companionship, we will continue to bring hope to the vulnerable and the oppressed around the world. Thank you for your support, which has empowered and enabled children who wish only for an opportunity. We hope you will continue to walk with us on this endless yet rewarding path toward God's countless blessings. l t a r 02 Board Chairperson's Message u o n 2016 p n e 03 Executive Director's Message A R 04 Domestic Programs 07 Education Aid 08 Health Maintenance 09 Diversified Community Development 10 Family Support 11 Child and Youth Protection 12 Child and Youth Protection – Government Commissioned Services 15 Livelihood Development 16 Domestic Emergency Relief 18 International Programs 22 Health and Nutrition 23 Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene 24 Education 25 Children's Rights Advocacy 26 Resilience and Livelihoods 29 International Emergency Relief 31 2016 Financial Summary 32 Looking Back and Giving Thanks 36 Board of Directors and Supervisors Every child is a child of God In November of 2016, I visited Bogota, Colombia for World Vision’s Triennial Council. During the council, the Bob Pierce Award, named after World Vision’s founder, was presented to Paulo Uchôa of Fortaleza, Brazil. His story is nothing short of inspirational. Fortaleza is infamous for its problems with gang violence and drug abuse; its adolescent homicide rate is the highest in Brazil. Violence is so rampant that the deaths of young people are seen as a way for the community to become safer. Two decades ago, Paulo began working with the youth of Fortaleza, and his program formally became known as “Children of God” in 2006. One by one, Paulo led these troubled youths away from violence and back into schools and churches. Each year, 250 youths are restored to dignity and self-respect. School attendance rates of children in the program have risen from 30% to 70%, with many going on to attend university and becoming volunteers in the program. “People ask why I embrace this cause. Because it’s like a mission that God gave me, and I accepted. This is a tiring and dangerous job, but it’s not in vain,” he says. His determination to overcome any and all obstacles has enabled the renewal of young lives throughout Fortaleza. And that is the fervor with which World Vision Taiwan serves the community. Vulnerable and marginalized children and families are given the opportunity to transform their lives. We assist these families not only economically, but also through valuable life education that teaches children the compassion and self- confidence they’ll need in order to plant the seeds of hope for future generations to come. In 2017, World Vision will partner with the United Nations and NGOs around the world to “End Violence Against Children.” We aim to shed light on the various forms of violence children continue to face each day, including child labor, early marriage, trafficking, abuse, and more. In our world, a child is killed by violence every five minutes. We believe that every child has the right to live free of fear, safe from the threat of violence. We thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to your company as we strive to bring fullness of life to every child of God. Tiffany Huang, Board Chairperson World Vision Taiwan 2 Board Chairperson's Message A Life in Service of Life In January of 2017, I became executive director of World Vision Taiwan. For years, I worked in public service and construction law, but God was always leading me toward World Vision. Last September, as I prayed over the next phase of my career, God presented to me three key requirements. First of all, I had to go to an organization that serves God. Second was having a vision; the “vision” in World Vision certainly made it an apt choice as I surrendered to God’s will. Last but not least, I must respect the opinions and beliefs of others. At World Vision Taiwan, our ministry requires many to come together and communicate as a team, and this third lesson became a priceless reminder. In January, I visited central Taiwan to witness firsthand the transformation enabled by our esteemed donors. I saw a grandmother single-handedly raising her young grandchildren, an immigrant mother supporting the entire family with her wages stringing oyster shells together, and a young mother raising five children all on her own. They work tirelessly to give their young children a better life, which makes the support they receive through sponsorship all the more invaluable. Through my interaction with these families, I also learned of the unbreakable bond between World Vision staff and these communities. Our work is much more than mere economic and livelihood assistance, it is a long-term approach based on companionship. One staff member said to me that this line of work is “a life accompanying another, a life serving another.” The support our staff receives through child sponsors in turn becomes a positive influence in these children’s lives, spurring them on to impact even more lives in the future. We appreciate each of the sponsors, donors, corporate partners, schools, and churches that have chosen to walk with us throughout the past year. Your love for the world has strengthened children and families. Your contributions have given communities genuine opportunity for transformation. Bringing the fullness of life to every child is an immeasurably large task, and your helping hand has never been more needed. Together, we will give every child the chance to experience fruitful, rewarding lives. Jonathan Chen, Executive Director World Vision Taiwan Executive Director's Message 3 Domestic Programs In 2016, 50,100 Taiwanese children experienced transformative change 4 Domestic Programs Fullness of life for every child is our eternal desire. World Vision Taiwan works in rural and urban contexts throughout the country, even in the outlying islands. In 2016, we continued our work in a child, family, and community-focused approach, serving children through five key programs: Education Aid, Health Maintenance, Diversified Community Development, Family Support, and Child and Youth Protection. We are especially dedicated to children and youth living in economically vulnerable contexts, and we will continue to work toward our goal of improving the welfare of all children and providing opportunities for growth and development in the community. 2016 Domestic Ministry Expenditures 2.0 % 0.6 % Child Sponsorship 6.6 % NT$1,045,322,897 3.8 % Government Commissioned Services NT$281,105,272 Development Programs Total : NT$57,486,482 18.4 % $1,524,122,178 Emergency Relief All dollar amounts in NT$ NT$100,651,238 Indirect Ministry Expenditures NT$30,316,679 Gift-in-kind 68.6 % NT$9,239,610 Source: Finance Division From October 1, 2015 to September國內服務 30, 2016 5 Domestic Programs Map ■ 6 Area Offices ●▲ 55 service centers (including field stations) ●Keelung 10 government commissioned service centers ★National Office Taipei Banqiao● Government Commissioned Service Centers ■North Area Office ．113 Child, Youth, and Women Protection Center ●Taipei ●Taoyuan ．Taipei Foster Service Center ● ■ ● Xindian ．Vision Home West Area Office Fuxing ●Hsinchu ●Zhudong ．Taipei Datung Parent-Child Center Wujian ●Yilan ．Taipei Child and Youth Service Center ．New Taipei Child and Youth Service Center ●Miaoli ．Fuxing Child and Youth Service Center ●Miaobin ．Zhudong Child and Youth Service Center ．Miaobin Child and Youth Service Center ．Taichung Child and Youth Service Center ●Fengyuan ●Hoping ●Xiulin ●Zhongbin ■Central Area Office ●Taichung ●Wushe ■East Area Office ●Beizhang Taichung Urban Family Center ● ●Hualien Nanzhang ● ●Nantou Puli ●Shoufeng ●Wanrong ●Guangfu ●Shuili ●Yunlin ●Xinyi ●Yunbin ●Penghu ■Changhua-Yunlin-Chiayi Area Office ●Chiayi ●Alishan ●Yuli ●Jiabin ●Namaxia ●Xinying ●Chenggong ▲Qimei ▲Taoyuan ●Jiali ●Guanshan ●Liugui ●Tainan ●Qishan Tainan Community Center ● ●Rinari Taitung ●Changzhi-Baiho ●Gangshan ●Pingtung South Area Office■ ●Kaohsiung ●Jinlun Kaohsiung Community Center ●Pingnan ●Lanyu ●Hengchun 6 Domestic Programs Education Aid 266,778 beneficiaries, NT$ 733,865,475 in expenditures Poverty and the lack of access to education are invariably Ming (name changed to protect her privacy) is one of linked.

  • 27 the China Factor in Taiwan
    Wu Jieh-min, 2016, “The China Factor in Taiwan: Impact and Response”, pp. 425-445 in Gunter Schubert ed., Handbook of T Modern Taiwan Politics and Society, Routledge. 27 THE CHINA FACTOR IN TAIWAN Impact and response Jieh-Min Wu* Since the turn of the century, the rise of China has inspired global a1nbitions and heightened international anxiety. Though Chinese influence is not a ne\V factor in the international geo­ political syste1n, the synergy between China's growing purchasing po\ver and its political \vill is dra\ving increasing attention on the world stage. With China's e111ergence as a global econontic powerhouse and the Chinese state's extraction of massive revenues and tremendous foreign reserves, Beijing has learned to flex these financial 1nuscles globally in order to achieve its polit­ ical goals. Essentially, the rise of China has enabled the PRC to speed up its n1ilitary moderniza­ tion and adroitly co1nbine econonllc measures and 'united front \Vork' in pursuit of its national interests. Hence Taiwan, whose sovereignty continues to be contested by the PRC, has been heavily i1npacted by China's new strategy. The Chinese ca1npaign kno\vn as 'using business to steer politics' has arguably been success­ ful in achieving inany of the effects desired by Beijing. For exan1ple, the Chinese government has repeatedly leveraged Taiwan's trade and econonllc dependence to intervene in Taiwan's elections. Such econonllc dependence n1ay constrain Taiwanese choices within a structure of Beijing's creation. In son1e historical 1no1nents, however, subjective identity and collect­ ive action could still en1erge as 'independent variables' that open up \Vindo\vs of opportun­ ity, expanding the range of available choices.

  • Gift Pack Market Taiwan
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 7/5/2011 GAIN Report Number: TW11014 Taiwan Post: Taipei ATO Gift Pack Market Report Categories: Product Brief Approved By: Jeffrey Hesse, Chief, Agriculture Section, AIT Taipei Prepared By: Amy Chang-Chien Hsueh, Agricultural Marketing Specialist Report Highlights: Traditionally, people in Taiwan send food products in gift packages to their friends and relatives during three major lunar year festivals: Chinese New Year; the Dragon Boat Festival; and the Moon Festival. Of the many kinds of gifts given, imported food products that are perceived to provide health benefits, such as jams, nuts, dried fruits, candies and cookies -- either organic or conventional, are seen as demonstrating good prospects in Taiwan. General Information: Overview Gift packages are an important item in Taiwan's retail sales. Traditionally, people in Taiwan send food products in gift packages to their friends and relatives during three major lunar year festivals: Chinese New Year (usually in February); the Dragon Boat Festival (usually in June); and the Moon Festival (usually in September). In preparation for the traditional gift giving during these festivals, producers and importers prepare the gift boxes before the holiday time. Many food distributors aggressively promote the gift packages by holding product presentations for retailers. Retail stores print gift box brochures and adopt various promotional strategies, including price discounts and/or other extraordinary strategies to attract clients. These activities mark the start of the scramble for the festival gift box market, which is estimated at about US$2 billion or about five percent of total retail food sales in Taiwan.
