Motivation
The Miaoli Branch of the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation has been deeply rooted in the local community for many years and, as of December 2025, currently provides long-term care for 63 patients in a vegetative state and individuals with severe disabilities. For residents who are unable to move independently, every bath, repositioning, or transfer relies on caregivers manually lifting and moving them. This not only places significant physical and technical demands on caregivers, but also poses potential risks to residents, including joint strain, muscle pain, and even falls. To uphold the dignity of care—ensuring residents are not merely carried, but moved smoothly and safely—and to reduce occupational injuries among caregivers, the facility urgently needed to introduce a ceiling-mounted transfer system to enhance overall care quality and safety.
Fundraising
Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS) and GlobalWafers Co., Ltd. (GWC) have long been committed to promoting ESG sustainability initiatives and have supported the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation Miaoli Branch for four consecutive years. With the collective support of the Group and its employees, management led colleagues to personally visit the facility and present a donation of NTD 300,000 on November 26. The funds will be specifically designated for the procurement of a ceiling-mounted patient transfer system, reflecting our shared commitment to care and community support. With the installation of this system, caregivers can use simple remote controls to perform lifting and transfer operations, making the demanding caregiving process smoother and safer, and ensuring that residents no longer experience fear during transfers.
Summary
This donation represents not only an upgrade of care equipment, but also a profound commitment to respecting and safeguarding life. Through the implementation of the ceiling-mounted transfer system, we hope to provide residents at the Miaoli Branch with more dignified care experience, while also alleviating the heavy physical burden and occupational risks faced by frontline caregivers. SAS and GWC believe that collective corporate goodwill can be transformed into meaningful companionships, sharing the weight borne by families and caregivers, and allowing this warmth and care to continue and take root in the local community over the long term.
