CHILDRENS WORK

For more information, please visit the ACA website at www.asianchildrensassist.org.

In 1994, as we began to work in China and other parts of Asia, the needs of the handicapped orphans and other poor children in the Shenyang area came to our attention.

Our children’s work has evolved over the years through many rewarding phases.  Today the purpose of our work is to provide needed surgeries and medical care for orphans and poverty level children, provide foster care support for the handicapped and to provide family retreat/respite times for families caring for handicapped children.

In 1999 we created a separate organization “Asian Children’s Assistance” (ACA) to handle all our children related work.  ACA was also created to meet the requirements of the Combined Federal Campaign, in the USA.  Although legally two separate organizations, SHIC continues to administer ACA.

Presently, ACA provides the following:

Foster Care Program – In this program ACA cares for several handicapped children, by placing them in loving foster families who will provide for every aspect of their lives: tender loving care, clothing, education, socialization and assimilation into society.  ACA sponsors their schooling and care and takes them into society at every opportunity so that they may increase their learning and experience.


Corrective Surgeries -  for orphans and children from poor families.  ACA gives them a hope for a future, which previously was out of their reach due to financial restrictions.

Medical Treatment not requiring surgeries – as we are made aware of medical treatment needs for poor and orphan children we also proved for that through cooperation with hospitals in the local area.
Traditional Medicine Hospital or in cooperation with other hospitals in the area.

Foster Care Initiatives and Adoption Directives; encouraging couples with hearts tender towards children to step out in faith to love and care for the underprivileged.

Scholarship Programs – this is for orphans or children from poor families who cannot afford to pay for some or all of their education.
