英闻天下——590 China to Overhaul Non-government Orphanages（在线收听） |
China's civil authorities are to overhaul the non-government orphanages nationwide after a deadly fire in central China's Henan province. The month-long campaign is to inspect private orphanages after seven children were killed in a fire at an orphanage in Lankao county.
The orphanage - run by a 48-year-old widow - is believed to be unregistered.
The woman has taken care of orphans and abandoned children since 1986, using money earned from working as a street vendor.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has urged departments across the country to improve management of orphanages run by individuals and private operators.
According to the ministry, children in substandard orphanages should be sent to child welfare agencies, while qualified ones will sign contracts with the goverments for supervision. |
