Yu-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation inaugurates green building
2025-12-05
The Yu-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation has opened Taiwan’s first low-carbon sustainable sheltered workshop building. In addition to providing employment and training for more than 80 workers, the park has adopted low-carbon building strategies, making it a green building. FTV reporter Stephany Yang has the story.
At the new park, sheltered employees are busy washing cars and preparing baked goods. This facility provides jobs for more than 80 workers. Located beneath Jianguo South Road Bridge, the park has a restaurant and a car wash center. The foundation has redesigned pathways that connect the two workshops into one unified space.

Even though Taiwan has about 200,000 people with intellectual disabilities, around 30% require full-time care, while 70% can be trained and given work opportunities. For them, having a job brings great happiness—they are always punctual and eager to come to work every day. If cities and counties across the nation could provide more of these opportunities, they would not have to stay at home, which often creates a heavy burden for their families.
The park incorporates low-carbon building strategies, reducing emissions equal to the annual carbon absorption of 30 hectares of forest. It features Taiwan’s first 50-ton rainwater recycling pool, supplying water for irrigation and cleaning, cutting tap water use, and solving flooding problems under the bridge. The building was honored with the Net Zero Architecture Award, and is the country’s first official structure built beneath a bridge.
Wu Xing-Fang
Yu-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation General Manager
In the past, we suffered greatly from flooding, so we wanted to turn rainwater into a positive energy source. During the reconstruction process, we made water a resource for recycling and reuse. Rainwater collected from the bridge surface is gathered, treated, and disinfected, then reused in the park for cleaning and as irrigation water for toilets.
Since its establishment in 1994, the Yu-Cheng Social Welfare Foundation has been providing comprehensive care and employment support for people with intellectual disabilities.The foundation hopes this new park will not only serve as a new gathering spot for people, but also a place where people with disabilities are accepted and respected.

導入低碳建築概念 全國首座綠建庇護園區落成
2025-12-05
全國第一座綠建庇護園區日前落成，育成基金會在庇護工場原址，重新打造一座嶄新的園區。不僅運用低碳建築概念，以木構結合回收鋼構作為主結構，減碳量相當於30公頃森林，一年的固碳量。同時設置雨水回收系統，用於澆灌、清潔，可以大幅減少自來水的使用量。
這邊「憨寶貝」忙著整理車子，又是吸塵、打蠟；另一邊的則是裝麵包。座落在台北市建國南路、濟南路口橋下的，全國第一座低碳建築永續庇護園區，正式啟用。園區分為，洗車中心以及蕃薯藤餐廳，可提供80個以上的就業機會，其中庇護員工就將近一半。
[[育成社會福利基金會創會董事長 陳節如]]
“我們全台大概有20幾萬，是心智障礙者，百分之30需要全程的服務，百分之70就可以來，訓練他們工作的機會，工作對他們來說是非常快樂的，他們只要聽到，每天都非常準時要來上班，如果各縣市大量的來給他們工作機會，我想這些小孩就，不用說放在家裡，造成家裡的負擔”
育成社會福利基金會，20多年前在原址成立兩家庇護工場，去年3月啟動重建工程，新建全國首座的綠建庇護園區，不僅導入低碳建築概念，減碳量相當於30公頃森林一年的固碳量，還透過設置50噸雨水回收池，供園區澆灌、清潔用水，減少自來水消耗，同時也改善橋下淹水問題。該建築更榮獲「2023年淨零建築大賞」肯定，也是國內第一座橋下建築物。
[[育成社會福利基金會總經理 吳幸芳]]
“過去因為淹水之苦，所以我們希望把雨水變成正向的能量，因此我們在改建的過程當中，特別把雨水變成回收，再利用的水資源，從橋面上的積水，可以把它收集成電，消毒變成園區的清潔，然後馬桶的灌溉用水”
育成社會福利基金會自1994年成立以來，始終以「不遺漏任何一個人」為核心，提供心智障礙者全方位的照顧與就業支持，並積極推動永續建築與社會共融，希望全新的園區不只是服務據點，更是讓身心障礙者被看見、被接納的地方！
