Today, we were again visiting Xilaojia Village for piglet distribution. To celebrate "pig year" in China, SC UK carried out "Wishlist Program" to distribute 60 piglets to several villages. Today SC distributed 28 piglets in Xilaojia Village for PLWHA and the poor families. It was raining in the morning therefore the village was very muddy.
In the afternoon, we visited a Small Group Family Unit (SGFU). SC upported the setting up of a SGFU, which provides family-style care for
4-6 children orphaned by HIV/AIDS and who no-one was caring for. Due to SC's work, children living in the Small Group Homes have been offered the basic new social security assistance recently promoted as orphan policy by the Central Government. This Minimum Living Standard allowance, formerly was only enjoyed by urban residents according to China’s existing social welfare policy. SC has also supported agreements to be signed between children/their guardians and the relevant local government/departments so that children’s rights of heritage, e.g. land, are safeguarded.
