Our History

For decades, we've been committed to improving rural education in the Chinese Mainland

There is no straight line all the way through.
Holding the firm belief of ”Life Enlightens Life“, we have overcome all the obstacles and thrived to enlighten the students' lives.

1995-2005
Yongshun County & Baojing County, Hunan Province

Student Sponsorship and School Reconstruction

We had supported 427 underprivileged students in Baojing County and Yongshun County, Hunan Province with their textbook and miscellaneous fees, enabling them to complete primary education. We also helped with the recontruction of dilapidated school buildings, including Tian Jia Bing Primary School in 1995 and Bai Yan Primary School in Baojing County in 2000.

Policy Adjustment and Shift of Focus

In 2006, our association’s subsidizing target had to be changed due to China Government's introduction of a policy aiding compulsory education in rural areas "Two Exemptions and one subsidy", which benefited mainly the primary and junior secondary school students. In view of this, we adjusted our policy to support senior secondary education in Huaiji County, Guangdong Province. Over four years, we had subsidized the school fees of 113 senior secondary students in Huaiji County.

Guiding County, Guizhou Province

Expansion to New Regions

After series of research, we found out that Huaiji County had achieved huge advancements in economy and its per capita income as well as infrastructure also had obvious improvements. As a result, we had decided to change our subsidizing region to Guiding County, Guizhou Province after investing various locations in Chinese Mainland. We had subsidized 42 underprivileged students in Guiding County to continue their high school education.

New Phase and Diversified Projects

After a series of research and consultation with our advisors and thorough consideration, our association had decided to terminate the subsidization in Guiding County in 2014 and changed to the more suitable Jianhe County in Guizhou Province.

In July 2015, our executive members visited the students in Jianhe county to decide the new list of subsidizing students. At the same time, we also revisited those that we were currently subsidizing in Guiding County. We had subsidized 28 high school students in Jianhe County.

By 2020, we had accumulated a total of 120 junior high school graduates (excluding the number of dropouts) in Jianhe County, Guizhou Province, so that they can continue their studies.

Beyond supporting local students' high school fees, our executive committee members worked on the "Book Corner Project" and "E-Learning Project" to improve overall educational resources in rural areas of the Chinese Mainland.

2019-2020
Yunnan Province

Transformation of Support Model

As Jianhe County developed its tourism industry and implemented social policies benefiting the people, local economic conditions improved. Combined with the central government's "Targeted Poverty Alleviation" efforts, the poverty situation in the area has improved, resulting in a declining trend in students' need for tuition assistance.

Since 2020, we've redirected support to Yunnan Province to help more underprivileged students. Our research shows some areas remain economically disadvantaged, with rural incomes significantly lower than urban ones. Many schools still lack adequate educational resources and infrastructure.

Apart from financial support, we launched material donation program, providing winter coats to Hunong Complete Primary School in Yunnan.
