Mission: To relieve children in poverty by supporting them with living supplies so they can grow up to become contributing members of the community.
Results: In 2012, we initiated a project to help the children without parents in Nayong county. We supported 200 children for the first session. Now the group was increased to 404 children. The group can reach 3000 children in Nayong. |

The materials include rice, cooking oil, clothes, stationeries and other life necessities. The materials improved their living standards. To ensure the reliable of the project, we visited all families and registered all children. The volunteers even sent the materials to the children in person.
