The logo of Homemaker's Union and Foundation

　The Homemaker's Union and Foundation was formed on January 6, 1987. It was initially a part of the New Environment Magazine Publisher. The founders were a group of housewives who did not want to sit idly watching the society and the environment change for the worse. They then decided to improve the cleanliness of environment and quality of life.

　　On August 22, 1987, the Executive Yuan Environmental Protection Administration was formed. On March 3, 1989, the Homemaker's Union and Foundation officially registered as the Legal Entity of Homemaker's Union and Environmental Protection Foundation. Its mission was to unite the forces of various women's groups to care for the society, raise the quality of life, promote gender harmony, and improve our environment. The Homemaker's Union and Foundation opened the Taichung workshop on August 5, 1990.

　　The Homemaker's Union and Environmental Protection Foundation has 5 committees: environmental protection, education, women's growth, consumer quality, and natural walking path. It also has a newsletter editing team and a workshop. The main purpose of the environmental protection committee was to provide the knowledge and practical solution for environmental protection, so the environmental protection prospects could be nurtured through environmental education. The emphasis was on applying the principles of environmental protection to our everyday lives so the quality of our lives could be even better.

　　Ever since its inception, the Homemaker's Union and Foundation has been giving its all working on tobacco control and prevention, especially when promoting the damages second-hand smoke can cause on children and women, with a goal of reducing the incidence of asthma in children and lung cancer in women. It is the main member of the Anti-Tobacco Alliance, and it participated in the making of the Amendment to Tobacco Control and Prevention Act, with the hopes of giving back our citizens clean air to breathe and a healthy environment to live in.
