To provide localized social services in a timely and professional manner, the Social Affairs Bureau has set up eight family welfare service centers in only six months from April to October 2013. This North District Centre is dedicated to 3 administrative districts, including Xitun District, Central District, and North District. According to statistical analysis, Central District has 26% of population in the age group under 18, the highest proportion among the 3 districts and 29 districts in Taichung while the number of households and residents and the areas of Central District are relatively small. Meanwhile, children and juveniles account for 24% of the total proportion of Xitun District, an area also with high proportion of kids and youths.

North District and Xitun District have many major medical institutions and long-term care resources, on which North District Family Welfare Service Center will capitalize for its future development. It will also start from helping those families with children and juveniles to reduce burden, thus complementing the functions of the Women and Children's Museum, said the Social Affairs Bureau.
