Guangdong Women and Children's Foundation and Guangdong Children's Welfare Association appealed

Society lends a helping hand to orphans.

(first draft)

First, the basic situation of orphans in our province

1, isolated data

According to the statistics of women's federations in 2 1 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong province in June 2006, there are 244 children and adolescents under 8 years old in Guangdong province, including 39,666 orphans, accounting for 0. 16% of the total number of children. Orphans in Guangdong account for 6.92% of the total number of orphans in China (573,000). According to the data of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, among the orphans in Guangdong, there are 632 1 person raised by social welfare institutions, accounting for15.94% of the total number of orphans; There are 30028 orphans scattered in the society, accounting for 75.70% of the total number of orphans; In fact, there are 33 17 unaccompanied children (children of prisoners and children whose guardians are unable to support them), accounting for 8.36% of the total number of orphans.

2. Distribution of orphans

Orphans in our province are mainly distributed in coastal areas, limestone areas and relatively backward mountainous areas. Such as Huilai, Lufeng, Xinyi, Gaozhou, Lianjiang, Wuchuan, luoding city, Qingxin, Jiexi, Huaiji, Dongyuan and Haifeng in yangchun city.

The government has two main measures to help orphans.

The first is institutional support. There are 50 children's welfare homes organized by the provincial civil affairs departments, and 50 comprehensive welfare homes with children's departments (districts) to support 632/kloc-0 orphans (hereinafter referred to as "three orphans") who have no ability to work, no source of livelihood and no guardians and caregivers. The living facilities and living standards of these orphans have been guaranteed. In most areas, the living standard of hospital orphans can reach not less than the general living standard of local residents.

The second is the "minimum living allowance" or "five guarantees" support. According to the introduction of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, the provincial government spends 250 million yuan every year to implement the "minimum living allowance" for low-income people in the province. Only from the sampling survey conducted by Guangdong Women's Federation in 6 1 city (county) in the province, there are 607,269 poor children in 6 1 city (county), of which 409,667 are included in government assistance, accounting for 67.46% of the total number of poor children. The sum of social welfare home support and government relief is 83.82%.

Objectively speaking, the government departments at all levels in our province have a wide coverage of orphan relief (accounting for 83.82%). Nearly 17% of orphans have not entered the "minimum living security" and "five guarantees" security network for various reasons. Even if it is included in the "minimum living allowance" and "five guarantees" security network, the relief funds provided by the government are very meager, which makes it difficult to guarantee the normal life of orphans. Moreover, most orphans are raised by elderly grandparents or uncles. Their situation is worrying, their lives are worrying, their education is worrying, their growth is worrying, and some of them can't even survive with food and clothing. Survival is their most urgent problem.

4. Social security

Since 2005, Guangdong Women's Federation and Guangdong Children's Welfare Association have received an annual donation of 400,000 yuan (three years in total) from Macau Mingde Charity Association through Mayor Li Lao to help more than 400 orphans in Qingxin County. The work committee, the Youth League Committee and other departments have also done some work, and some enterprises and associations have also carried out work to help orphans in some parts of the province. But overall, the "scale effect" has not yet formed. According to preliminary investigation, there are not many special relief funds, except Guangdong Women's Federation, Guangdong Women's and Children's Foundation and Guangdong Children's Welfare Association, which have launched "warm action" to help orphans.

Second, the reasons for helping orphans

For three reasons, Guangdong Women's Federation, Guangdong Women's and Children's Foundation and Guangdong Children's Welfare Association appealed to the society to lend a helping hand to help orphans. First of all, from the physical and psychological aspects of orphans. Orphans are the most vulnerable group among the vulnerable groups. They are young and confused, and their hearts are greatly bruised. Faced with a huge blow, they are helpless. Society should take the initiative to care for the weak in this vulnerable group. Second, from the survival and living conditions of orphans in our province. More than 80% orphans in our province are raised by elderly grandparents, and the embarrassment and hardship of their lives can be imagined. Third, from the perspective of integrating social assistance resources. After more than 20 years' efforts, the China Municipal Government has implemented nine-year compulsory education in urban and rural areas nationwide since this year, exempting students below junior high school from tuition and miscellaneous fees. "Difficult to go to school" is no longer the mainstream problem of children and adolescents today. Therefore, it is necessary to widely mobilize the society to donate money for orphans, and truly embody the principle of "giving charcoal in the snow".

Third, the overall goal of helping orphans.

Two goals: first, life assistance, which is aimed at orphans scattered in society and taken care of by grandparents, uncles or others. The province's annual living expenses for helping such orphans are about 35 million yuan. According to the person in charge of the civil affairs departments and village committees in Qingxin County and Lianjiang City, if the society can provide each orphan with 1 000 yuan per year, plus the "minimum living allowance" subsidy, the normal life of orphans can be guaranteed for one year. Realize the life requirements of making orphans "eat enough food, wear warm clothes and go to school". The second is to mobilize social donations to build or expand children's welfare homes or orphanages in cities (counties, districts) where the number of orphans exceeds 200. 300,000 RMB per room. According to the survey data of 6 1 county-level city in June 2006, there are orphans 15 in 6 1 county (district), accounting for 24.5% of the total survey. According to each 300 thousand, it needs 4.5 million. Refer to the model of donating hope primary school. There are two main purposes for building children's welfare homes or orphanages: one is to accept the local "three orphans" and accept orphans under the care of elderly and sick grandparents on a voluntary basis; Second, one hospital is multi-purpose. The local civil affairs department and the Women's Federation jointly set up a local home for orphans, regularly carry out various activities for orphans, pay attention to their growth, let orphans feel the warmth of society, share the fruits of reform and opening up, study hard and grow into useful talents in society.

Fourth, the method of assistance.

"Support", "Teaching Assistant" and "Mutual Assistance"-Three Help Actions (see leaflet)

Assistance methods:

1, supported

(1) scope of assistance-social organizations and caring people can choose to support 1 orphans or more (each orphan is 1 10,000 yuan per year), or they can choose several orphans to support 1 orphans; You can also choose all orphans in a county or a town as the target of assistance. You can also donate money to build a children's welfare home or an orphan's home.

(2) Rescue time-you can choose to help raise orphans for one year, two years, three years or more, or you can help raise orphans until 18 years old.

2. Teaching assistant

Dock with relevant societies and schools, and cooperate hand in hand, pair up, go out and invite in. Pay attention to the spiritual communication with orphans and care about their growth.

Guangdong Women's Federation, Guangdong Women and Children's Foundation and Guangdong directly under the authority Working Committee launched the "Ten Thousand Caring Parents" campaign from March to June this year. Societies and individuals can choose orphans in a county or town, organize one-on-one practitioners, and help them in various forms such as poverty alleviation, student aid, and teaching assistants.

Step 3 help each other

It is a hand-in-hand activity between young students and orphans of the same age. The key point is to let young students and orphans grow together. During holidays, young students can visit orphans' hometown, and they can also invite orphans to live in their school home. Young students understand the sufferings of orphans and will cherish today's life more; Orphans also feel the love of young students and will give more back to the society in the future.

In order to ensure that the wishes of the donors are realized and the donations are really used by the recipients, a number of measures will be taken:
