Long-Term Relief Aid

Long-term relief aid serves impoverished and needy people that require care and assistance over extended periods of time. Each month, the Tzu Chi Foundation provides the material assistance necessary to help them stay warm and well-fed, and makes regular follow-up home care visits.

The recipients of long-term aid consist mainly of the disenfranchised elderly, the sick, the desolate, and the orphaned.

The course of long-term aid provision is as follows:

1. Discovery of the individual case
2. Initial investigation and care visit
3. Verification of need and eligibility and delivery of relief
4. Continual case monitoring and regular follow-up
