Though the 921 earthquake in 1999 destroyed homeland of many indigenous tribes, optimistic aboriginal survivals didn’t get disappointed. On Sep 28th 2002, Indigenous tribes along with local tribal workers together founded “Association of Taiwanese Indigenous People’s Development” (hereinafter referred to as “the association”) for the promotion of indigenous tribal development and autonomy.

To boost the development of the tile industry and promote the use of traditional Taiwanese building materials, the Dashu Tile Kiln Society, San-he Tile Kiln, and San-he Tile Kiln Culture & Art Ltd., which was founded by multiple partners*, have joined together to launch a series of cultural and creative products based on traditional tiles and educate the public about ceramic tiles through various hands-on activities and distribution of educational materials. San-he Tile Kiln is a down-to-earth company full of hardworking, likeminded people.

To build a self-help and mutual-support platform and help disadvantaged families to escape poverty, the Taiwan Fund for children and Families, Hualian Branch, established the Hualian Love Shop.

Xinhua Community Development Society bases its development on indigenous Tavocan cultural and creative products, establishing its own sales channels and market. It also revives the old streets and old buildings with cultural memories, boosting community building and industry development in the surrounding area.

By the beautiful Daan River, blue sky and green mountains play together a tranquil and beautiful symphony. A natural disaster might claim people’s homes and property here, yet it cannot take away their will. After the 921 Earthquake, a group of Atayal people gathered to share food and work.

Innocent smiles are gifts from angels. By building a stage that connects mentally challenged people with society and showing the public their potential through bakeries, the Children Are Us Foundation has created a paradigm of charity in Taiwan society.
