DDMSWCF collaborates with the government to promote hygiene in typhoon-affected areas

Dharma Drum Mountain Social Welfare and Charity Foundation (DDMSWCF) has established the Peace of Mind Relief Stations at Liukuei Township and Jiaxian Township in Kaohsiung County respectively.

In collaboration with the medical relief team from Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital, the Peace of Mind Relief Stations are also offering medical service and spiritual counseling to hundreds of typhoon-inflicted people.

Providing drinking water and surgical masks, the medical team stressed the importance of hygiene to local communities as an effort to prevent diseases from spreading.

Many residents in the typhoon-affected areas have yet to receive information regarding the subsidies offered by the government and NGOs, DDMSWCF’s relief team consisting of volunteers and Buddhist monks worked with local officials and began going door to door to help inform those concerned in this regard as it’s imperative to help them return to their lives as soon as possible.

DDMSWCF plans to build permanent housing at Jiaxian Township

With proactive coordination from the government, Dharma Drum Mountain Social Welfare and Charity Foundation (DDMSWCF) is working on the project of building permanent housing for the typhoon survivors in collaboration with other domestic humanitarian organizations.

To accommodate the survivors of Xiaolin Village, where reportedly 300 villagers were swallowed by the deadly mudslide, DDMSWCF is now working together with the Red Cross Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to build permanent residences for as many as 200 families at Wulipu Village of Jiaxian Township in Kaohsiung County.

DDMSWCF has also established the Peace of Mind Relied Station at Lungfon Temple in Jiaxian Township on 22 August to serve the needs of the survivors.
