Executive Summary
This annual report outlined the performances and progresses made by the New Citizen Health Care Project between January and December 2012. Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK)’s “New Citizen Health Care Project” was developed based on “Migrant Population’s Reproductive Health Improvement Project” in 2009, and it has now become China’s first comprehensive community health promotion project that provides health education and services to the migrant population and their families in urban areas. Between 2009 and 2012, the “NCLC” of Xintu Centre for Community Health Promotion, Shanghai rooted in operating and developing communities, discovered community charity leaders, established community mutual aid network, and accomplished the project’s initial strategy of “Community Development Oriented Health Promotion”. The centre’s operation facilitated the migrant population’s positive behaviour change, enhanced the target communities’ reproductive health levels, and improved the Social Inclusions of the target communities. 2012 was the 4th year of the project. With the continuity of the Corporate-Charity cooperation model and the influence of “NCLC” brand, as well as the establishment of New citizen Beijing centre, we have further enhanced the concept of “New Citizen Health Care Project” and focused the work of 2012 on the general health concept theme of “Health, Participation and Learning For Social Inclusion”. “Social Inclusion” is a process of mutual cooperation and adaptation between individuals, groups or cultures to target the building of a positive harmonious society. The Social Inclusion of the migrant population includes economic, social, and psychological/cultural inclusion. Out of those aspects, Economic (employment) is the basis of living in a society, whereas inclusions at social and metal cultural levels are the factors which determine the span and depth of migrant population’s level of Social Inclusion. The “New Citizen” brand adopts the Reproductive Health and Family Support as the basis to commit to the improvement of migrant population’s local employment and habitation, while obtaining more information, skills and opportunities to participate in more aspects of social life. In 2012, we have further strengthened the cooperative relationships with the government, international organizations and various social partners. The brand power and social influence of “NCLC” has been further enhanced which attracted more attention from social media, corporations and volunteers to make more contributions with us for the “Health, Participation and Learning For Social Inclusion”. 2012 is also a critical year when we encountered many new challenges. The migrant communities were facing some uncertainties as a result of the policies, the previous Minhang Centre was removed, and the Huangpu communication station did not further execute our project due to cooperative concept issues. We have been, however, striving to advancing the capabilities of the new Minhang Centre, Hongkou Centre and Beijing Centre, developing the autonomous leader’s leaderships and Health Ambassadors’ knowledge reserves, and improving the project’s execution levels. With the unremitting efforts from all participants, “NCLC”—New Minhang and Beijing Centre were all formally launched.

II. Health “Improves Social Inclusion with Health” is the core objective of GSK’s New Citizen Health Care project. The migrant population’s access to medical resources has been limited by issues such as registered residence and economic power in comparison to the urban population. NCLC applies the community development concept which believes that a migrant community has the ability to resolve its own problems through mutual aid. It worked by encouraging communities to recruit migrant population as Health Ambassadors and adopted series of Health Intervention strategies and methods to emphasis on the core sub-projects below as well as improving the migrant population’s abilities on managing their own health.
1. Good Luck Mums 1) Project Introduction “Good Luck Mums” is a project that serves the women, children and their families of the migrant population to provide health care and medical consultation for women in pregnant and perinatal period and their babies. Adopt general intervention measures, including recruiting migrant women as “Health Ambassadors”, to develop the necessary tools for mutual-aid Mother-Baby Care services and to improve the migrant women’s abilities on self and mutual aid. 2) Project Concept We believe that, the migrant population is capable of improving their personal health care and management capabilities as well as their baby nurturance and care skills during the pregnancy and perinatal period. Utilize Health Ambassador trainings to improve Health Ambassador’s professional skills and techniques; Utilize Health Ambassador Field Workshops to help more mothers and children from migrant families. Utilize expert forums to provide the migrant population with opportunities to communicate with experts face to face for obtaining scientific knowledge on personal and child care. Utilize Health Ambassador household visits to understand migrant pregnant mothers’ practical needs and to offer the necessary support. 3) Accomplishment •
In 2012, the Good Luck Mums project organized trainings and field workshops 82 times throughout the year;
•
A total of 3,189 people received face to face health education promotions and health improvement services;
•
Over 200 households received visits;
•
Organized children’s charity health checkup once, which was attended by 42 5-year-olds from migrant communities;
•
The health checkup discovered abnormal health issues on 14 of the participants, out of which 2 had tonsil hypertrophy, 2 had nasitis, 1 had conjunctivitis, 1 had heterotropia, 1 had caries, 1 had pectus carinatum, 4 had oversized phimosis, 1 had cryptorchidism, and 1 had growth retardation.

“Good Luck Mums”
In the morning of 27th February 2012, Professor SHEN of International Maternity &Child Health Hospital visited NCLC—Sanlin to teach maternity health and nutrition knowledge to the mother-to-bes from the migrant population of the community, and the lecture was warmly welcomed by the audience. Through the lecture, the audience realized that: ✓
During the pregnancy, it is not appropriate to eat too much and too fast, neither is it good to eat too many fruits;
✓
It is recommended to eat much fish and roughage and to eat animal liver least once a week; 6
✓
It is also advised to eat frequently with a small amount at each meal while taking proper amount of exercises and drinking 2 glasses of milk powder for pregnant women every day;
✓
Seaweed soup with dry shrimps is a good source for calcium supplementation;
✓
Prenatal training can be started from 5 months before due date;
✓
Constipation during pregnancy can be eased by eating sweet potatoes.
The mother-to-bes in the community all thanked Prof. SHEN for recommending safe and nutritious diet plans which are also economic at the same time. The food list is very suitable for the needs of these mother-to-bes from the migrant population.
Expert Forum on Maternity Health and Nutrition Mothers raised questions of concern to the experts
At 1pm July 8th, 2012, doctors from Shanghai Children’s Medical Centre’s Pharmacy Department visited Sanlin Life Centre in the heat to provide medication knowledge to the community members, such as the characteristics of children’s medication, how to choose the suitable medicine, details of children’s medication that need to be taken care of, the differences between dietary supplement and medicine. They also brought knowledge on household remedies and their storage. The correct ways to feed infants with medicines were specially welcomed by young mothers. And the mothers were also taught how to store the medicines to prevent them from deteriorating.

5) Case Study The 35 year old Hua ZHANG (alias, same as below) is from Huaibei of Anhui province and has been living in Shanghai for 6 years. She now lives in Guijing Village of Sanlin Town, Pudong, and is running a small grocery shop for living while her husband works as a builder. The couple has a 13 year old daughter. In August, 4-month-pregnant Hua Zhang was introduced by her fellow villager to a mother-baby health forum— Maternity Health Care organized by NCLC. The Health Consultant realized that Hua has already undergone 4 abortions after the first child and this is her 6th pregnancy. Furthermore, she has never taken any prenatal checkup since becoming pregnant. Hua told the consultant that she did not take any prenatal checkup during the first pregnancy either, and she even did not go to the hospital but delivered the baby in her own home with help from a midwife. Therefore she thought it was not necessary to do so this time. Based on her situation, the Health Consultant advised Hua to take a prenatal check in a good quality hospital. Hua took the consultant’s advice carefully by visiting Siyang Hospital of Pudong regularly for checkups. She eventually gave birth to a boy at the end of December 2012 in Siyang Hospital. During the delivery, Hua had adherent placenta which was, fortunately, treated successfully by professional doctors; and hence both the mother and her boy were fine.
2. Childhood Nutrition 1) Project Introduction In 2006, evaluation index research data from Chinese Children Development Outline (2001-2010) and Chinese Women Development Outline (2001-2010) (a.k.a. “the 2 Outlines” hereafter) conducted by the Ministry of Health across the country indicated that, among all under-5-year-olds who suffered from malnourishment, 9.9%
8
of them had growth retardation, 5.9% had low weight, and 2.2% was too skinny. Infant malnourishment is closely related to unscientific diet. In terms of birth weight and weight increase in the first 6 months, research showed no significant difference between children in our country and those from the advanced ones. The differences appear gradually, however, after the 6th month. One key reason to that is that, many parents failed to add supplementary diet timely and appropriately for infants after they are 6 months old, which significantly affected the infants’ growth rate. Especially in rural areas and migrant communities in urban areas, it is very difficult for supplementary diet to meet the Timing, Reasonability, Safety and Nutrition requirements from various aspects, including the time to add such supplementary diet and the nutrition compositions of it. In 2012, Xintu Project team used the NCLC (Shanghai Sanlin Centre, Minhang Centre and Beijing Centre) as the base to launch its Childhood Nutrition Project. The project aimed at providing its target audience with guidance on infant nutrition and scientific feeding, 0-3 year old migrant baby health information management service and so on. Its objective was to enhance the awareness of scientific feeding for infants among migrant maternity women and their families. In areas directly serviced by this project, the breast feeding rate for 0-6 year old babies increased by 20%. 2) Project Strategies and Key Work Methods Strategy 1: Health education and behavioral intervention on individual’s lack of scientific feeding awareness, knowledge and skill ✓
Intervention Lesson Development –Your baby’s first “kiss”.
✓
Apply trend behavioral intervention directly at the target.
✓
Considering the intervention targets are migrant women, this is a single method, which can be applied easily without involving extra costs.
✓
Behaviour Generalization 1. Make Breast Massage Pads into “kiss” shape lips to help with breast feeding; 2. Make lip-shape round Infant Supplementary Diet Recipe poster to be put on the walls in the homes.
Strategy 2: Organize the community “Health Ambassador” team to arrange club events in targeting migrant women’s lack of social support. ✓
Develop a community “Health Ambassador” team to collect the health information of members, maternity women and infants while undertaking appropriate member record management;
✓
Organize club event in the Life Centre once every month for members to help each other and share feeding experiences;
✓
“Confession of Kiss”—Invite fathers or other relatives to attend. If the mother performed “breast feeding today”, and/or “adding the correct supplementary diet today”, may the father please kiss the mother; and it is also encouraged to record the moment and a portrait photo or video clip will be produced for the participant for free;
✓
Develop a Feed 0~3 year Old Babies Scientifically—Health Ambassador Handbook.
Strategy 3: Use household visits and guidance in targeting migrant mother’s insufficient use of medical services ✓
Divide the service targets into different groups via household visits to discover their actual medical needs;
9
✓
Health Ambassadors worked with professional volunteers to select local medical resources address book and handed out Local Medical Treatment Maps along with Popular Doctors Index door to door;
✓
Help Health Ambassadors with generating resources—doctors, such as making cards like “a greeting card to my doctor—stamp of a baby’s kiss”, and “my doctor wrote to me”.

3. Green Harbor 1) Project Introduction Family is a harbor for happiness and harmony. It gives couples or partners a sweet home; and it could give children or senior people a place with love and care. “The Green Harbor” project is a special project of New Citizen Health Care program. The initial objective of the project is to develop a lesson for migrant women, particularly those who used to be a victim of or is currently suffering from domestic violence, to help themselves as well as each other. We firmly believed that women striving in a safe, friendly and non-judgmental environment will make their own lives better! 2) Project Concept In 2012, we summarized the project experiences generated in the past 3 years and further discovered the community needs through community visits. We found that, instead of the traditional idea of “couples holding on to each other to expect the mercy of god”, modern couples who moved into urban areas believe more in “couples working together for the family”. They, on one hand, are keeping the deeply rooted rural life style; while on the other hand, the roles and relationships of the family members are all changing under the influence of city lives. Many working couples are busy with work so they have hardly any chance to sit down and communicate. The lack of communication between couples would often cause conflicts. Therefore, the key objective of our Green Harbor project in 2012 is to “Build a harmonious relationship; Stay away from domestic violence”. This project operated in communities mainly through “Health Ambassador Capability Building Training” and “Health Ambassador Field Workshop”. 3) Accomplishment •
In 2012, the Green Harbor project organized a total of 28 events with 765 direct attendees.
•
Developed and executed the Harmonious Marriage and Family training course of the Green Harbor project;
•
Organized the Health Ambassador Capability Building Training and Harmonious Marriage and Family training course 11 times throughout the year.

Health Ambassador Capability Building Training Harmonious Marriage and Family Training Course
The NCLC—Sanlin invited senior marriage consultant Ms. Xingrong ZHOU on May 23rd to provide the Green Harbor training course to the Health Ambassadors. This course contained 11 sessions and the session on that day was the first one: Modern Marriage and Family. The course mainly explained the major causes to issues often occur in modern marriages and families, such as the lack of communication, and their correct solutions. Case studies were used to help the Health Ambassadors gain in-depth knowledge on the key causes to marriage disputes in families so they could better manage their own families.

Curator Juxin YUAN of the Life Centre listened to the situation carefully and provided thoughtful advice. The migrant woman appreciated it very much: “Thank you so much for talking with me for so long and listened to my story.” That was an extraordinary conversation and Xinju was therefore nicknamed “Aunt of the community’s migrant population”.

4. Beautiful Women 1) Project Introduction The “Beautiful Women” project aims to provide support on reproductive health by particularly emphasizing on the promotion of women’s contraception knowledge and solutions to unexpected pregnancies. 2) Project Concept We believe that, the migrant population is capable of improving the management of their own reproductive health through learning. At the same time, effective learning and proactive actions could be used to prevent and delay such diseases. We also believed that, women’s beauty comes from the perfect combination of internal and external beauty; therefore an attractive new citizen lady shall have both the beauty of health and manner. In 2012, the Beautiful Women project did not only continue with providing mutual help for migrant women on reproductive health, but also attempted to introduce training courses that helped migrant women to increase their external beauty.

“Many friends participated in the activities told us how wonderful NCLC is and wished to see more of your great events. We are so happy no matter how hot the weather is! We feel amazing no matter how hot we are! The flags are dancing on the streets and the promoters are putting on a great show. Want to know what we were doing? It is the health promotion that can never be missing. Come on, NCLC!” “This event went more successful than expected. We really didn’t expect everyone to participate so much enthusiastically. We thought people would be reluctant to come because of the high temperature and the result truly shocked us. During the break, everyone gave compliments to the event and said they haven’t been riding bikes with others like this for a long time. They asked our NCLC staff to definitely notify them if this kind of activity is organized again, because they will absolutely come again next time.” “There were emotions and regrets in this event, but we harvested more. I saw everyone’s trust on us and their passion on sports. They are all strangers who came to work in Shanghai and they all joined this riding event in our Life Centre because of their love to sports. It is not only the knowledge on hepatitis was gained, but also a healthier life through sports has been promoted! A rider from Subei said that, all residents in a village from his home town caught hepatitis and many passed away before they even turned 30. He said our event is so meaningful! I promoted hard with several Health Ambassadors over a month for this event and we now feel that it is all worth it.” •

III. Participation “Participation facilitates Social Inclusion” aims at promoting the migrant population’s ability on urban adaptation and strengthening viscosity of their Social Inclusion.

Targets: Providing community participation opportunities to the migrant population Promoting community participation abilities of the migrant population Advocating community participation spirits of the migrant population
1. Community Venture “Community Venture” is tailor made for the migrant population in accordance with their current life situation. Many of the migrant population were industrial worker families which came from other regions. After moving to Shanghai, some of families had children so the women had to stay at home to look after the children. As a result, the family lost one share of its income. Under this circumstance, we combined the wishes of migrant women: on the one side they wished to stay home to look after children while on the other hand they hoped to contribute to family income. A project was designed to provid sewing lessons and trainings to open Taobao online stores for the migrant population. We hope the promotion on migrant population’s self-employment can develop a group of outstanding migrant population with the spirit of self-improving and entrepreneurship before gradually bring more and more migrant families into this group.
31
As of the end of 2012, this project has already took in 10 migrant women and preliminarily achieved profitability with several thousand RMB.
2. Urban Adaptation In order to facilitate the better urban adaptation of migrant population in the aspects of urban lifestyle, culture, skills, etc., NCLC mobilized social resources to hold a variety of activities for the migrant population to help them integrate into the city.

All of the community residents who participated in NCLC activities were changed from little doubts to full trust on the life centre. The brand of NCLC were been rooted into the communities. During 2012, NCLC received many visitors and they all highly recognized the services and modes of our life centre.They also learnt and used the mode of our life centre to be their reference of conducting their own community services.
6. Case Study—“The Transformation of a Migrant Woman in Shanghai” Ms. Hongjian CHENG from Anhui Province lives in Guijing Village of Sanlin Town, Pudong District, with her husband. When they first arrived at the city, her husband asked her to stay at home to take care of their children. And she was asked to be better just stay in the room since they live in an area with intensive migrant population, bad security and mixed flow of people. At the beginning, she agreed with her husband and stayed at home to take care of children without going out. One day by accident, she took her daughter to the garden of senior centre to use the fitness equipment and found NCLC to be a charity organization. She then tried to find out what the NCLC was doing out of curiosity. At that time, Curator Ms. Juxin YUAN was on duty, and she told Hongjian that NCLC is a charity organization which provides help and service to the community’s migrant population, think for them, and work for them…… After listening to the introduction, Hongjian felt very excited. As a member of the migrant population, she deeply understood the difficulties of working in a strange place. She made a prompt decision by telling YUAN she wanted to join NCLC and become to a member because she wanted to contribute her own efforts to the community’s migrant population. After joining the Life Centre, Hongjian enthusiastically presented her efforts to the community’s migrant population, and she applied to be a Health Ambassador one month later. By now, Hongjian has already been with the Life Centre for more than 1 year and she always tell everyone the following story in their conversations: “After joining the Life Centre, I am growing and learning new knowledge every day. If knowledge is water, then I am a piece of sponge which can continuously acquire knowledge. I started from learning how to start a computer, how to apply for QQ, and how to typewriting and chat. By now, I can already write microblogs, use skype to hold meetings, and use computer to write monthly brief about our Life Centre. Moreover. I also learnt to do online shopping, which is very convenience and cheap. I also learnt dancing with the dancing class…… After all, I learnt many skills here. My friends all looked at me with new eyes and they think I know more than them. They didn’t believe I could do so many things with computer. So I like our Life Centre, and I cannot live without it. The Life Centre is my second home.” With all the projects she participated in, the Beautiful Women project benefited Hongjian the most. From the ignorant on female body health to now, she nearly became a “community expert” on female health issues. Since joining NCLC, she visits the community’s migrant population families every day; communicates with women in the community; and introducing knowledge on women’s health. She could even speak about venereal disease which used to be a topic too shy for her to talk. Now she has become a “community celebrity” from the previous “never go out, never make friends” house woman. While walking on the way from Shangpu West Road to NCLC, Hongjian would always meet friends who greet and chat with her. In her heart, NCLC has made her a spiritually rich person.
36
At the same time, what pulled her heartstrings，touched her, and let her selflessly contributed to the NCLC is that, NCLC provides a study platform for the community’s migrant children. NCLC carries out various interest classes for the migrant children, such as oil painting, foreign language, taekwondo and night care classes and so on. The teachers are volunteers from charity organizations. They are so caring and professional that from the eyes of children, they are the dearest person. Hongjian CHENG is a representative of our Health Ambassador’s team, but she is also only an ordinary member.
She is the epitome of many Health Ambassadors. During the days in NCLC, these Health
Ambassadors received a lot but also contributed so much. Within thousands of migrant people, many of them think similarly as Hongjian CHENG from defining themselves as a “stranger” to considered themselves as the “new citizen”of the city. We also believe that, our NCLC will have a great tomorrow in the promotion of community inclusion! Use our love to build the prettiest community!
37
IV. Learning Use learning to facilitate Social Inclusion is an efficient way for migrant population to be included into the society. During the process of migrant population’s promotion of abilities on personal health management and community affair involvement, their self-discipline and innermost driving force were also greatly enhanced. Learning is the proper way to continuously help themselves managing their own health, attending broader community affairs. And the most important point is that it can promote the quality of their lives and work. This chapter will focus on presenting the operating situation and current progress of our vocational training and Technology Station training provided to the migrant population.
1. Vocational Training 1) Brief Introduction Migrant population is an important labor resource for the city; and employment and entrepreneurship is the essential condition for them to integrate into the city life. Along with abundant migrant population moved to the city to live and work, on one hand, they devoted significant contribution to the city’s economic growth and modernization construction. On the other hand, however, due to their limited educational levels and lack of advanced work skills overall, most of the migrant population did not received any professional and technical training before entering the city, and that probably caused their difficulties in finding stable employment. In 2012, Xintu continuously mobilized the community to help migrant population to obtain the abilities for becoming a new citizen. Such abilities included not only positive self-identity, sufficient information (health information, living information and social communication, etc.), but also appropriate skills (vocational skills, urban life skills, and learning skill, etc.) 2) Training Program In 2012, in accordance with the community’s requirement, NCLC took Sanlin Centre as the pilot platform to offer two professional vocational training courses, they were: •
Maternal and Infant Care
•
Home-Based Care for the Elderly
These trainings were the first attempt NCLC made on providing vocational trainings to the migrant population, and they were widely recognized by the community migrant women. These training programs promoted professional working skill of the migrant population, reinforced their competitiveness in the urban employment market, and facilitated and improved the urban employment of migrant population, particularly those of the migrant women.

2. Training in Technology Station 1) Brief Introduction Along with the development and popularization of internet science and technology, the technology is heavily influencing human life and remodeling the ways that human obtain information, communicate and practice social life. There is no exception for migrant population. Modern technology is able to accelerate the Social Inclusion of migrant population. On the contrary, in the technology age, the more serious social isolation will appear if the migrant population cannot access to the technological services and integrate into the technological society because of any subjective and objective barriers. Technology station devotes itself to facilitate the Social Inclusion of migrant population through technology. It repairs/maintains and reconfigures the collected electronics products from public to extend the service life, and then popularize the usage of these products to the migrant population, which can bring the electronics surplusvalue into their entire usage and promote the migrant population to share the splendid information world with others. 2) Training Program Up to December 2012, the Technology Station has already launched a series tailor-made computer training courses for the migrant population in NCLC--Sanlin, Minhang and Hongkou, and they were all were wellreceived. The contents of training consisted of instant messaging tools, online shopping, online ticket bookin, basic application of office suite, video editing, and so on. There were 29 class hours in total which were carried out circularly in the year. 3) Training Method This project adopted the interactive teaching method which invited professional computer training team and university student volunteers to open a special teaching area for the migrant population who wanted to learn computer skills. It also guided migrant population to master the knowledge and techniques of surfing on internet, helped them getting into online communities, helped them build skills to adapt to urban life and work.

5) Cases Study •
Beneficiaries of “Technology Station” in 2012: NCLC community work team
•
Background of beneficiaries: in 2012, all the NCLC curators and key Health Ambassadors used skype to conduct net meetings and online trainings at least 1-2 times per month, which saved travel time and expenditures as well as improving the efficiency of communications.
At work, they learnt to use mailbox to send/receive emails and transmit documents. The daily operation and project activities held by life centres were all published on the internet for the first time via microblog and photo galleries. They logged on to microblogs to publish activity information and tasks like forward and comment posts became increasingly easy. So far, the Technology Station project has already trained around 10 community training lecturers. Most of those training lecturers are the key Health Ambassadors of NCLC. They mastered the Internet application expertise through the Technology Station first, and they would then pass on those skills to community’s fellow migrant population when they became proficient. The community training lecturers conducted face-to-face training with the community trainees in small groups of 1 to 3. Meanwhile, these lecturers still kept on improving themselves with trainings from “Technology Station”. “My friends described my lifestyle as being more fashion and modern. I also felt my thought is pulled ahead of my friends!” --- migrant women who received the training from Technology Station confidently said so.
