Onesiphorus Children's Home Sponsorship

In 1971, the Onesiphorus Polio Home was founded in the town of Taitung in southeastern Taiwan to care for children struck by a polio epidemic. When polio vaccine became more available, the Home shifted its focus towards caring for children from dysfunctional family backgrounds and children disabled by other diseases or accidents. The name was later changed to Onesiphorus Children’s Home.

The campus of the Onesiphorus Children's Home includes seven family-style homes, each designed for eight to twelve children and a house parent, a chapel, auditorium, library, computer lab, classrooms, staff housing, offices, baseball field, basketball court, an in-ground pool, weight room, playground equipment, climbing wall, and dance studio. The Home currently houses about eighty children from kindergarten through high school, providing them with love, education, medical care, nutritious meals, and instruction in the Christian faith.
