Scholarships for children of migrant workers 2008-03-02 07:43:00 For several years, the Love-in-Action Foundation has run programs for migrant workers and their families, and above all for their children, who have little access to education. Since 2000, we have supported schools for the children of migrant workers in Nanjing, providing them with sports equipment, computers, desks and chairs and other teaching equipment. Love-in-Action has also sent teaching volunteers to these schools. In this way, Love-in-Action has managed to improve the conditions and raise the level of education.Fees at these schools are lower than at normal schools.

Help orphans 2008-03-02 02:56:00 Some 570,000 Chinese children are orphans. 80% of them live in the countryside - in poor, underdeveloped regions where there is no infrastructure to help them. Almost one-third of all orphans are in urgent need of help but do not receive any support.

Help children go to school 2008-03-01 09:00:00 Over 42 million people in China still live below the official poverty line - less than US$80 per year individual income.This means children from economically poor families have little chance to attend school.

This is particularly true for national minority families living in remote mountainous rural areas. Parents cannot afford basic text books and school supplies. Therefore, countless thousands of children have no chance to even finish primary school. Under its Back to School Program, Love-in-Action currently sponsors children in 48 counties in 13 provinces, three autono

Products become commodities or niche, and cutthroat comp
