Since 2007, Care Action Macao have been working in Huining Mountain District of Gansu Province and Panyu of Guangdong Province. After that, we have visited students and villagers in many remote and impoverished areas in China. We have been deeply aware of their poor environment for generations, which makes it extremely difficult to provide education for their children, and it is almost impossible for them to go to university. To help them get out of poverty requires a long-term plan. We believe that knowledge can change our destiny, and uphold the concept of "Educate poor wisely". In early 2011, Chairman John Lo initiated and established the "Care Action Macao Education Fund" to fund poor students to complete their university courses. In addition to giving the students a chance and hope, we will help them change their destiny with knowledge, break the poverty and hardship of generations, and create a bright future!
Priority has long been given to orphans, poor families, and single-parent families, and subsistence allowances have been provided to ease the financial burden. It is essential for students' families that we support them until they graduate. This is also our commitment to our students.
After years of hard work, 1,027 students have benefited from the program. Of the 393 students who completed higher education, 25 completed master's degrees and one completed a doctorate. The condition of life is considerably improved when the graduate enters the community, bringing with him several times the economic income of the family.
