現況
近年來，中國的經濟持續起飛，人民的生活有了很大的改善。 隨著經濟的快速增長，社會結構亦起了變化，而截至2008年底，中國0-18 歲兒童總數是2.78億人，當中有特殊需求的兒童數量卻有顯注上升趨勢。 【生活困難】 有特殊需要的兒童確實是我國最貧窮丶生活最困難的群體之一。這些兒童大部份時間上課時是餓著肚子，有些兒童一天只能吃一頓飯，一個月一次肉都吃不上。 【營養不足】 兒童貧血等營養問題依然普遍，2009年農村留守兒童的生長遲緩率和低體重率均顯著高於非留守兒童，約為非留守兒童的1.5倍。多個城市的流動人口兒童健康狀況調查結果顯示：流動兒童貧血患病率明顯高於城區兒童，體格發育狀況明顯落後於城區兒童。 【缺乏照顧】 另外，由於缺乏家長的教育和管理，大部份弱勢兒童沒有形成良好的衛生生活習慣，而隔代家長對孩子的日常衛生又不太在意，年紀小的兒童，衛生意識和自理能力均不強。第二，對於這些孩子的安全問題，週末和長假期更是一個很大的隱患，因為無人照料或監護人監護力偏低，很多留守兒童和孤兒喜歡在路上逗留，成群結黨。 CURRENT SITUATION【Children problem worsens】
The social structure in China has changed in recent years. As of the end of 2008, there were 278 million children aged 0-18, of which the number of children with special needs grew significantly. 【A difficult life】 Children with special needs belong to a disadvantaged group, which encompasses orphans, children with disabilities, migrant children, left-behind children, children coming from a single-parent family, children who are the victims of violence or child abuse, and children with AIDS etc. Some of the disadvantaged children are indeed the poorest and most miserable children in the country. For most of the time, they go to school with an empty stomach; some of them only have one meal each day, and do not always have meat every month. 【Under-nutrition】 While under-nutrition such as anaemia is still common among children, in 2009, left-behind children in rural China generally have a higher prevalence of stunting and a lower birth weight rate, which is about 1.5 times more than non-left-behind children. Multiple reports regarding children’s health among the floating population reveal that migrant children, as opposed to urban children, have a higher chance of contracting anaemia and a significantly slower physical development. 【A lack of care】 Lacking in parental education and management, most of the disadvantaged children do not have good hygienic habits. Regarding their safety, since no one takes care of them, or their guardians offer little guardianship, many left-behind children and orphans prefer lingering in the streets, forming groups and gangs. |
我們的對象
【流動兒童】 截至2010年，中國流動人口達2.21億人，部份農民工帶著子女在城市生活，由於農民工收入低，一家人的生活質量明顯落後於城市家庭(兒童)。 農民工家庭不被納入城市人口登記和管理體系，他們便成為“看得見、數不清”的一群，並不享有免費入讀公辦學校的福利。由於生活條件較差朝不保夕，大部份農民工子女都飽受貧血和營養不良等疾病困擾。目前，他們急需面對的是一頓俱基本營養的膳食。 【留守兒童】 留守兒童” 是指父母雙方或一方外出到城市打工。他們一般與自己的父親或母親中的一人，或者與上輩親人，甚至父母親的其他親戚、朋友一起生活。由於留守兒童跟父母長期分開，可能一年只能夠見一次面，在這種 情況下，這些兒童特別容易感覺孤單、自信心偏低、行為亦會出現偏差，同時，學習也受到影響。 【孤兒】 根據民政部最新統計，全中國約有70多萬的孤兒，有接近90%的孤兒都是居住在農村的 。他們普遍的受到歧視、虐待、饑餓。 OUR TARGET【Migrant Children】
As of 2010, there was a floating population of 221 million in China, with some migrant workers bringing along their children to the city. As these migrant workers earn little, the standard of living of such a household greatly falls short of their urban counterparts. Families of migrant workers are not included in the urban population registration and management system, thus becoming the “visible yet countless” group, unable to enjoy welfares such as studying in public schools free-of-charge. Under such precarious living conditions, a majority of migrant children suffer from diseases such as anaemia and malnutrition. At present, they are imperatively in need of a basic, nutritious meal. 【Left-behind children】 Left-behind children are those whose parents (or parent) have (or has) gone to work in the city. They usually live with either of their parents, their grandparents, relatives or family friends. These children are separated from their parents for a long period of time, usually only seeing each other once a year. Under such circumstances, left-behind children will easily feel lonely and have a low self-esteem. Behavioural problems will surface, and their learning will also be affected. 【Orphans】 According to the latest statistics published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there are more than 70 million orphans in China, with nearly 90% living in rural villages. They are generally subject to discrimination, abuse and starvation. |
