Summary
In the heart of New Taipei City lies Agape Children's Home, a sanctuary dedicated to the transformation of 24 out-of-home care (OOHC) children. These young souls, having faced the shadows of family dysfunction, abandonment, and abuse, now find a haven where they can heal and flourish. Agape Children's Home offers a nurturing environment, life skills training, educational support, and mental health services, empowering each child to discover their potential and soar towards a brighter future.

Challenge
Each child at Agape Children's Home carries a unique story of adversity, marked by family breakdowns, neglect, and abuse. These experiences have left deep scars, manifesting as trauma, low self-esteem, and a lack of essential life skills. In Taiwan, over 4,500 children are placed in out-of-home care annually, with nearly 1,000 of them struggling with developmental delays or disabilities. The current resources are often insufficient, leading to the placement of these vulnerable children in adult facilities where their needs remain unmet, perpetuating a cycle of instability and limited opportunities.

Solution
At Agape Children's Home, we embrace a holistic approach to nurturing these children. Our program offers secure housing and academic support, tailored to each child's unique needs. We provide life skills training to foster independence, and individualized mental health counseling to heal emotional wounds. Our Diverse Learning Program enriches their lives through music, dance, and sports, offering courses in drumming, guitar, and choir. Holiday camps further enhance their experience, focusing on team building and cultural education. This comprehensive support system helps each child rebuild their confidence and develop the skills necessary for a successful future.

Long-Term Impact
Our vision extends beyond immediate care. By equipping these children with the tools and support they need, we aim to break the cycle of trauma and instability. Through our holistic approach, we foster resilience, self-reliance, and a positive outlook on life. As these children grow into confident, capable adults, they will contribute positively to society, creating a ripple effect that strengthens their communities and inspires future generations.
