It has deepened the collaboration among education departments, women's federations and other departments, created high-quality education assistance mechanisms and injected new momentum for the healthy growth of rural children.
The Ankang Program for Children's Future, co-organized by the CCTF and the Guangzhou Bluemoon Foundation, brought back home the Special Contribution Award at the awards ceremony.
Launched in 2022, the project focuses on children's health and hygienic needs, adheres to the fundamental principle of safeguarding children's healthy growth, and strives to build a comprehensive and precise caring system for rural children's health.
It has achieved three primary goals of infrastructural upgrading, capability enhancement and health awareness popularization through building more washbasins on campuses in rural areas and less developed regions, training teachers to improve health management capabilities and distributing educational materials to children to popularize health knowledge.
During the past three years, the project has donated fund and materials worth over 20 million yuan (US $2.86 million), delivered tangible benefits to more than one million children and their families, and made noticeable progress in improving school facilities, bolstering health empowerment, promoting balanced education development, and conveying social warmth and care to needy people. In the years ahead, it will further expand its service scope and coverage and take consistent efforts to enhance children's health literacy and campus health management in rural areas.
