After raising a child with disabilities, one father from Chiayi founded a non-profit organization that provides full-time care for people with disabilities. Moved by his passion, the Chang Yung-fa Charity Foundation donated NT$3 million to build a greenhouse vegetable garden for the organization, helping the people in its care to be more self-sufficient and increasing the organization’s income.
Following the teacher’s instructions, people in red shirts use scissors to cut and harvest vegetables. On the other side of the greenhouse, others carefully plant seedlings in the soil.
This is the Jochuerh Foundation’s greenhouse, and the hard-working people in red shirts all have disabilities. After learning simple skills, they can grow vegetables themselves, becoming more self-sufficient.

This is not just a vegetable. It’s a union of benevolence, of great benevolence. Giving these kids healthy food to eat means fewer hospital visits, and that’s truly wonderful.
Lin Peng-hui founded this organization over 20 years ago. He and his wife adopted a son 41 years ago, and later discovered he had cerebral palsy. As they cared for their son, they realized that many families were facing similar struggles, so Lin founded the organization to provide a comfortable residence for children with disabilities. They hire staff split between three shifts to provide care full-time. The Chang Yung-fa Charity Foundation donated NT$3 million to build this greenhouse vegetable garden, showing its support for the organization.

We had the opportunity to meet Mr. Lin. I think he has a huge heart, helping these children with disabilities to grow up and continuously caring for them. What he grows here is not just vegetables, but love, hope, and vitality.

Chiayi County Commissioner
Growing vegetables or farming is a great form of healing and therapy. It helps calm the mind, body, and spirit.
With the vegetable garden, the Jochuerh Foundation saves NT$60,000 every month. As the harvest stabilizes in the future, it can even provide the foundation with additional income. Those in the foundation’s care also gain a healthy, therapeutic new skill by caring for the garden.
