On World Autism Awareness Day which falls on April 2 each year, a faith-based disabled service center in China’s northeastern Shandong Province launched a charity fundraising event for autistic adults.
Joint with Amity Foundation and Tencent Public Welfare and Charity Foundation, Ji’nan Faith & Hope & Love Disability Service Center conducted matching donations on April 1-3, during which time each person donating either one yuan or more could provide five opportunities for doubling matching donations.
Since the 99 Charity Day, the largest online donation campaign, in September last year, the project has received more than 340,000 yuan from around 8000 charitable donors, aiming to help 30 elderly mentally disabled people enhance employment awareness and establish normal lifestyle habits.
In terms of the specific implementation, the wishes of the trainees were discovered during the centralized training and individual training. According to the conditions and resources required by their wishes, the practitioners of the project conducted targeted training and then assisted trainees in participating in the work process, revealing the students' wishes through social integration activities.
They encouraged more people to participate in the event to help the disadvantaged people find a "job".
Established on June 21, 2016, the center is the first private non-profit organization in Shandong Province to provide services for adolescents, and adults with autism and intellectual disabilities. It has been committed to serving adults with autism for more than ten years, providing equal opportunities for growth and development to them, who have their own advantages with room for growth.

4月2日是“世界自闭症关注日”，日前，山东济南市信望爱残疾人服务中心携手腾讯公益与爱德基金会发起了大龄心智障碍者关怀公益捐助项目。
4月1日到3日为项目配捐翻倍时期，每为项目捐一笔≥1元钱，将会获得5次配捐翻倍机会。
据了解，该公益项目于2021年9月正式启动，自启动以来，该项目已收到近八千余位爱心人士的善款捐助，已募得善款34万余元。计划受益对象为30名大龄心智障碍学员，以培养心智障碍者就业意识，引导心智障碍者树立挣钱、花钱的消费观念，协助其建立正常化生活习惯为目标。
在具体执行方面，项目主要以集中训练+个训的方式，寻找出学员的愿望，根据愿望所需的条件及资源进行分解，并进行针对性培训，其次再通过扶持学员参与工作流程以助其学习付出，最后则通过社会融合相关活动将学员的愿望进行展示。
希望更多有爱心的人士能够参与到该公益捐助活动中，为大龄心智障碍者寻找一份“工作”。
