Our Story<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tzu Chi Foundation<\/h3>\n

Tzu Chi Foundation is a globally recognized international humanitarian and nongovernmental organization (NGO). Founded in 1966 in Hualien, Tzu Chi has devoted 58 years to its core missions of charity, medicine, education, and humanistic culture. With offices in 67 countries, the foundation has implemented disaster relief, medical aid, and environmental protection initiatives across 133 countries. In recognition of its profound global impact, Tzu Chi was granted Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) in 2010.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Tzu Chi was accredited by the United Nations Environment Programe (UNEP) as an observer to sessions of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA). In 2022, Tzu Chi was appointed as co-chair of the United Nations Interagency Task Force on Religion and Sustainable Development’s Multi-Faith Advisory Council, reinforcing its commitment to fostering sustainable and compassionate global development.<\/p>\n
