Globally, Fu Jen has held strong service learning engagements with that include, but are not limited to areas such as: Africa's Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Ghana, India's Kolkata, East Asia's Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. For such engagements, Fu Jen especially has focal points on women and children-related health and educational issues. With a local context-based approach, Fu Jen applies its core capabilities (i.e. constructing basic infrastructure, health and well-being) to educate local residents on how to proactively maintain basic infrastructure, medical knowledge, etc. In time, Fu Jen has helped lift a sizable number of local residents out of poverty. Coupled with the fact that Fu Jen has continuously cultivated such residents with strong self-sustaining abilities and inter alia. With the above process, student volunteers not only practice service-learning but learn to solve a multitude of applied problems. Moreover, such student volunteers can altogether conduct cultural exchanges with local residents, broaden global perspective, and enhance both Taiwan and Fu Jen's global impacts.
