About Harmony Home 
 
Harmony Home started out as a refuge for HIV and AIDS patients before dying. However, in the past 10 years, due to the implementation of medical policies for HIV testing of pregnant women, many infections of mothers and children can be prevented by pre-medication. In recent years, children have not been infected by mothers anymore.
 
However, in the past 10 years, they also found out that women migrant workers or foreigners they have difficulties in the pregnancy and child minding service in Taiwan, but there is no legal sources for them to contact with. Nowadays, online dating is so popular, those ladies, either they are lonely or homesick, they can easily dating from the internet to get the companion from their hometown fellowship. As a result, unexpected pregnancy are gradually emerging, the number of migrant women workers and non-national children are increasing higher than ever, last year,  the children that we have been taking care of who have no nationality has cumulated to 372.
 
Those children won’t be able to have health insurance, for they won’t be able to get the household registration, we are the role to help them to get through the difficulty and trying to find a solution to taking care of the baby for them can still work to earn the money and raised the baby till they can legalize one day.
