Special Care Nursery for Orphaned Babies

We are very happy to announce that as of 2015, our sister organization in China, Chunhui Children will be taking over the funding and operations of the China Care Home. It has long been our goal at Half the Sky to turn funding and operations of our programs over to the Chinese and the China Care Home is the first to achieve this impressive milestone. We are grateful that funds are now in place to ensure the continued care of children admitted to the center.

We are also grateful that in October 2014, our team was able to celebrate the relocation of the China Care Home to a newer and more modern facility, further benefitting the children. The new facilities, located in Beijing's quiet Yizhuang Economic Development Zone neighborhood, include a new administrative area, 9 rooms for the children, a professional nursing station, a large activity room and ample space for the more than 60 caring and loving Chunhui caregivers to dote on their little charges during their recovery periods. 

Now that we have turned over operations of this center to our Chinese counterparts, we are able to turn our attention to raising funds for work that is near and dear to our hearts. Over half of children in today's Chinese social welfare institutions are living with a special need and our goal is to raise funds to further train our caregivers so they have the tools and knowledge necessary to best help children with special needs who are in their care reach their full potential. 

Again, many thanks for your support of the China Care Home. Please find attached the last issue of our China Care Home newsletter that features some of the children who have received care at the center and some children who are still receiving care through Chunhui Children. We cannot thank you enough for your support, which has helped so many children receive high quality medical care and nurturing.
