The Historical Evolution of Jinan Children's Welfare Institute

After more than two years of construction, Jinan Children's Welfare Institute was finally completed and officially opened, which is also a gift from Jinan to 350 orphans and disabled children in the city on Children's Day. Li, Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Jiang Daming, Deputy Secretary of Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Governor, came to Jinan Children's Welfare Institute to celebrate Children's Day with the children.

It is understood that Jinan has not had an independent children's welfare home since the founding of the People's Republic of China. For a long time, the adoption of children in Jinan has been undertaken by social welfare institutions. The existing Jinan Social Welfare Institute was established in September. 1948. As a comprehensive social welfare institution, Jinan Social Welfare Institute has taken on many responsibilities, such as the adoption of the elderly, abandoned babies, orphans and disabled children, and has increased the function of accommodating the disabled among vagrants and beggars, making the resettlement capacity of Jinan Social Welfare Institute close to saturation. This unified management service model, which integrates the elderly, children and mentally retarded people, has become increasingly unsuitable for the development of social welfare.

Therefore, Jinan Civil Affairs Bureau began to build this special independent children's welfare home in March 2009. 20 10, the project is listed as one of the "12 practical things for the people" promised by the municipal government. The newly-built Jinan Children's Welfare Institute is located in the south of Tuquan Village, Liubu Town, Licheng District, surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery, open terrain and convenient transportation, with a total area of 138 mu and a total construction area of 35,000 square meters.
