The Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs has launched the "Tomorrow Plan," a three-year nationwide campaign to provide orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation treatment to orphans 0–18 years of age. WACAP has helped to fund the Tomorrow Plan and invites your participation. If you would like to contribute or learn more, please contact

In China, children are known as the flowers of the nation, and the peony, the Chinese national flower, symbolizes the value and potential of each child. Unfortunately, the potential of many Chinese children with physical disabilities has long been limited.

WACAP’s innovative, six-year Peony Project provided rehabilitative care, special education and basic needs for hundreds of orphans and other children with disabilities in the Chinese province of Henan. Orphanages, once shut off from the wider world, have become community centers where families can bring children for education and medical treatment. WACAP's work integrated traditional Chinese medicine with Western techniques.

The Peony Project received generous funding through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Seattle Times featured this project in an article and photo essay.

The Peony Project concluded in 2005, but our colleagues in China are continuing many of the program's improvements in care for children with disabilities.
