Street family-medicine clinics
Roughly 3,000 people sleep rough in Taiwan's cities; nearly half once held jobs, yet avoid hospitals for fear of judgement. The group supplied stethoscopes, cleansing wipes and wound dressings to Si-An Charity's street clinics so they can receive care with dignity.
Each year the faces of those we support are baked into a box of “smiling mooncakes” for the clients and friends who back us — because of them, we can help more people.
