Educational Support

The CYDF is best known for launching and managing its largest program to date, “Project Hope.” Project Hope has sought to help school dropouts in poor remote regions return to school and complete at least an elementary education. By the end of 2002, Project Hope had raised over RMB 2.2 billion in donations, helped 2.47 million children from poverty-stricken rural families continue their schooling, built 9,508 Hope primary schools, presented Hope mini-library series to 10,000 village schools in remote areas, and equipped more than 3,000 Hope primary schools with Sunchime film library series and other modern teaching equipment. In addition, the foundation has set up a “Stars of Hope Award Fund” to support top-ranked Project Hope students in further studies and a “Hope Primary School Teacher-Training Fund” to allow teachers to sharpen their skills and expand their knowledge. 

Mr. K.P Fong and Mrs. Christina Fong, the founder and owner of Tai Sun Oriental Food Chain donated £10,000 to build a brand new primary school in the village of He Ma Gou in Shanxi Province back in 2001. Since then, Tai Sun Oriental Food has been donating £1000 every year to the Youth Organisation of Yun Cheng City Shanxi Province in China in order to help children from these remote regions return to school. Nowadays, Tai Sun Oriental Food has managed to help more than 100 children from the remote regions of Yun Cheng area return to school. Furthermore, Tai Sun is aimed to raise the fund in the near future in order to help more and more poor families from the remote region to help their children return to school.
