About Tzu Chi
Tzu Chi Foundation was established in 1966 by Venerable Dharma Master Cheng Yen on the poor east coast of Taiwan. Over the years, the foundation has been contributing to better social and community services, medical care, education and humanism in Taiwan and around the world. From the first 30 members, housewives who saved two cents from their grocery money each day to help the poor, the foundation has now volunteers across over 60 countries with 502 offices worldwide. Tzu Chi’s missions focus on alleviating suffering and inspiring love and humanity to both givers and receivers.
Tzu Chi has held a special consultative status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2010 and is a observer to UN Environment Assembly of UN Environment (UNEP).
