About Us
The Evergreen Education Foundation was founded 2001 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.
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.
Mission Statement:
To improve education opportunities for children and young adults in rural China by providing books, computers, relevant equipment and supplies, workshops and seminars to schools or libraries.
To grant scholarships and/or educational loans to scholastically excellent students in rural China who are financially disadvantaged; and
To serve as a bridge in collaborative efforts whose purpose is to enhance information literacy or other educational exchanges between China and the United States.
