History 【edit】 In 1938 China’s Children Fund (CCF) was established in Richmond, Virginia, by Christians in the States. In 1950 They set up the first family-style orphanage in Taiwan and took over Ta-Tung Children’s Home. In 1964 CCF Taiwan Field Office was formally established and 23 Branch Offices were set up one by one to provide services to needy children and families in Taiwan. In 1985 CCF/Taiwan became fully independent from Christian Children’s Fund and no longer received financial support from foreign donors. In 1987 CCF/Taiwan launched the Foreign Children Sponsorship Program and began to sponsor children in Asia, America and Africa. Provided Child Protection Program in Taiwan. In 1999 Changed the name to Chinese Fund for Children and Families/Taiwan (CCF/Taiwan). Received the National Social Welfare Prize issued by the government. In 2002 Changed the name to Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF). Joined ChildFund International (later called ChildFund Alliance) with other 11 international NGOs.

Family Assistance Services【edit】 With a scene of devastation everywhere in a little town of northern China in 1937, Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke, a foreign Presbyterian minister, tried to contribute himself to save more orphans and homelessness away from the war. After he went back the States, he called for the public’s attention and established the China’s Children Fund (abbreviated as CCF) in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Through one-on-one sponsorship program, the sponsors contributed a fixed amount on a regular basis to help with children in need. Even after TFCF’s independence, they still insist to carry on this concept in order to help their sponsored children become self-reliant. TFCF provides them with family assistance services as well as an opportunity to continue their education through sponsorship program, scholarship, emergency relief fund, life care, nutrition program and Self-Reliant Program for Youth.

Through this program, they help the youth become self-reliant and be able to devote themselves to benefiting the needy children and families in the future.
