Built from a disaster, and from generosity.
Qiaoren Elementary School was built in 1961 using donations from overseas Chinese communities, funding reconstruction efforts after the catastrophic flood of August 7, 1959 — one of the worst natural disasters in Taiwan's postwar history. The school's name includes the character "僑" (overseas Chinese), directly commemorating the generosity that made its founding possible.
僑仁國小創立於民國50年（1961年），興建經費來自海外華僑捐款，用以協助民國48年（1959年）「八七水災」——台灣戰後最嚴重的天然災害之一——後的重建工作。校名中的「僑」字，正是紀念這份成就建校的慷慨捐助。
