Charities to get more help from new partner
Print Edition
Charities and social service organizations have a new partner in the Putuo District Social Organization Zone, which was launched recently and aims to nurture and serve organizations working on livelihood programs.
A total of 528 social organizations now operate in Putuo, with more than 70 percent working on livelihood projects.
The zone will support those who lack relevant experience and resources with the help of a so-called 鈥1+X鈥 incubation mechanism launched by the district. 鈥1鈥 stands for the district social organization park while 鈥淴鈥 means local subdistricts and towns to set up venues that will foster organizations at local community centers, youth centers and industrial parks.
So far, two social charity programs in Putuo have received financial supports from the central government. 鈥淓lder Care Secretary鈥 is a program from Shanghai Changshou Elder Care Guidance Center that brings products and services directly to senior residents in local communities.
鈥淥asis Food Bank,鈥 a program by Shanghai Oasis Charity Development Center, collects food directly from farms, food manufacturers, food retailers and individuals with professional services in logistics and storage and then delivers to the disadvantaged groups.
Other organizations help families with autistic children, elders suffering from dementia and seniors who live alone. Some organizations also provide first aid training and how to react in the event of an emergency or disaster.
In Putuo, social organizations can take advantage of a series of financial support schemes and training programs. The district is going to set up a community foundation in subdistricts, towns and industrial parks, which will provide support to the public service sectors such as social assistance. By now, Taopu Town Community Foundation has been set up and registered as a trial.
Under its new plan, the district aims to have six social organizations for every 10,000 permanent residents within five years.
The organizations will focus on social services in the sectors of community services, charity, culture and sport events, and mediation as well as community volunteer teams.
