We are committed to promote fair and equal opportunities for the disadvantaged to realize their rights to education.<\/p>\n

Since the recent economic reform and progress, China has witnessed significant investment and progress in its education policies and structures, most notably the rights to public education. Despite the progress, there are still many who will require our assistance, our mission to help the disadvantaged to education remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

In another part of the world, there are children who have lost their homes, their loved ones and the opportunity to receive education as a result of politics, race as well as natural and man-made disasters.\u00a0 By expanding our educational aid from to other countries, we hope to reach out to more children who are in need. Though the geographic area in which we serve is changing, we remain true to our code of practice and strive to ensure the proper and effective use of all donations.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”50″]
