In Pingtung’s Neipu Township, an 80-year-old woman and her disabled daughter were living in an old, run-down house without proper plumbing. The Heng-shan Social Welfare Foundation teamed up with a construction company and spent two weekends renovating their home, bringing in all new furniture and appliances to completely change this family’s living conditions.
Undertaking a home renovation challenge, volunteers come and go, covering the walls with a fresh coat of paint and replastering the ceiling. They even brought in all new furniture and appliances.
With this new water heater, the woman who lives here will have hot running water for the first time. She couldn’t help but smile at her home’s total transformation.
80-year-old A-hsue lives with her disabled daughter in Pingtung’s Neipu Township. Just 10 days ago, their house was a mess. There were holes in the ceiling, the walls were covered with mold, and parts were in danger of falling down.
Not only was it in a complete state of disrepair, but they still heated water using a wood stove and their toilet was a simple outhouse. These impoverished conditions moved the local village chief to reach out to the Heng-Shan Social Welfare Foundation to transform the family’s home.

Still following her old farming habits, she would use waste as fertilizer. But she doesn’t have farmland anymore, so she would just scatter it around the area, leaving an unpleasant smell that affected the neighbors. So we had to address this community issue and also improve her living conditions.
Partnering with a construction company committed to public welfare, the foundation gathered volunteers and carried out the renovations over two weekends. Together they transformed this woman’s house, giving her a comfortable home to live out the rest of her days.
