Considering that the Children's Welfare Act promulgated in 1973 is no longer suitable for today's society, in late 1990, legislators such as Lin Chih-chia, along with various concerned individuals and organizations, formed the "Children's Welfare Alliance" to initiate the process of amending the law. After three months of twenty-one meetings, the "Children's Welfare Alliance Amendment to the Children's Welfare Act" was submitted for deliberation in March 1991. During the process of amending the law, all parties agreed that a permanent organization should be established to consistently promote children's welfare work. Thus, the "Children's Welfare Alliance Cultural and Educational Foundation" was founded in December 1991. The Children's Welfare Alliance is a non-profit organization, not aiming for profit. Since its establishment, it has consistently been dedicated to promoting children's welfare. In addition to continuously revising and advocating for laws and policies, it has also launched many new direct service programs in response to social changes and problems, including adoption services, missing children search services, child abandonment protection services, and childcare consultation services. The Alliance is committed to the purpose of providing the best welfare for children. On one hand, professional social workers provide relevant protection services for children with special situations, and on the other hand, they also build a complete support network for general families. In December 1997, to expand the promotion of children's welfare concepts and provide services to people in the southern region, the Alliance established the Southern Office in Kaohsiung. In mid-1998, the Central Office was established, and together with the Department of Children's Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior, they set up the "National Missing Children and Youth Data Management Center," hoping to combine the strength of government departments and civil organizations to establish a complete information network and collectively solve the issue of missing children and youth. In June 1994, the Taichung City Government entrusted the establishment of the Xiangqing Family Welfare Service Center, which provides counseling for single-parent children and family services. By the end of 1994, multiple workstations were successively established in Miaoli, Hsinchu, Pingtung, and Keelung, providing preventive services for high-risk families, aiming to prevent tragedies from happening in advance. In April 1996, the Alliance took over the operation of the "Hu Lu" and "Xing Yun" daycare centers, which were publicly operated and privately managed by the Taipei City Government, officially entering the frontline of childcare services. From three staff members, to now having offices throughout Taiwan, the Children's Welfare Alliance has remained committed to its original purpose of "giving children a better world" for over twenty years, striving to ensure that every child can receive love, care, and understanding.         Vision  Give children a better world   Mission and Objectives    Promote the revision of children's welfare service policies and regulations.  Advocate the concept of children's welfare.  Provide children's welfare services.  Develop research on children's welfare services.  Integrate the children's welfare service network.  Establish a children's welfare research database.
