The Evergreen Education Foundation
was founded by a group of Chinese and American professionals and academics. The Foundation's purpose is to enhance educational opportunities for middle and high school children in rural China. Seed money has been provided by Mr. Richard Hsin, a Hong Kong entrepreneur and philanthropist. (more intro...)
Our program consists of two interlocking project areas. The first is to build high school libraries.
The Evergreen Library Project facilitates student access to books, periodicals and technologies to promote literacy and critical thinking. The second project area is to provide
scholarships to promising but financially disadvantaged students. Your help is needed! Please join us in developing the resources these students need to succeed. With $2 we can buy a book in China. And one book can open a window to the world for a rural student. Imagine what an entire library could do. With a $80 donation, you can support a middle school child for an entire year or $160 to a senior high school student for a semester, $600 for the first year of college and $300 for the second year of college for an entire year! Please use the pledge form if you wish to make a donation or to sponsor a student. Or contact us at 415-602-4754 if you are able to volunteer your time. Help Now
