Disabled people find a 'cozy haven' in center

Community offers a range of services to vulnerable group


Sunlight pours through the windows of Wenxin Jiayuan, literally "cozy haven", a small but vibrant community center nestled in Dongzhimen subdistrict, Dongcheng district, Beijing. Inside, several residents with disabilities are weaving intricate knots, their fingers moving with precision and calm.


It is a scene that plays out daily in this quiet corner of the capital, one that reflects a broader commitment to improving lives.


Dongzhimen subdistrict is home to 1,541 residents with disabilities. From individuals with learning difficulties and hearing impairments to wheelchair users, many now benefit from a range of dedicated services aimed at fostering independence, skill building and community connection.
