Special needs, Orphaned, or Abandoned children’s Resources
Working to keep kids in families and caring for those who have none
SOAR has worked with local institutions, families, and individuals to see vulnerable children given the best opportunities possible. Whether through our past SOAR Village partnership with the local Social Welfare Institution, or through our support for local individuals and organizations working for the benefit of children with disabilities and their families, we are thrilled to have had a small role in bringing real change for the better into the lives of children and families across Shanxi.
Community Support
The SOAR Team is excited to partner with local organizations serving children with disability. From conducting staff training to hands on interaction with the children through weekly classes, the team has helped new services for special kids grow in our community.
Update on The SOAR Village
In 2014, the doors opened for us to partner with the local orphanage in dramatic new ways and, over the 5 years of this successful project, they took on the specialized care for 50+ children with intellectual and/or physical disabilities.
Following the pandemic, we were not allowed to make our weekly visits to the children, but we continued to provide vital nutritional supplements and health and hygiene items along with fun treats, too, like birthday cakes. As adoptions from China ground to a halt, we continued to advocate for those with international adoption files.
