OpportunitiesNews of China-related educational, cultural, and charitable projectsOpportunities introduces significant charitable, cultural, and educational projects that seek American business support and aims to help companies identify programs that merit their assistance. The materials contained in Opportunities are boiled down; our goal is to provide contact information and only the most skeletal description of each organization's interests. We strongly encourage interested companies to contact the programs contained here directly, so that each firm can review the more-detailed materials that individual organizations can provide. American companies participate in a broad range of programs that bring benefit to the people of China and strengthen the bonds of US-China friendship beyond the commercial realm. Opportunities is intended to help companies explore new ways of making a difference. (Note: Neither the US-China Business Council nor the CBR is a sponsor of any project listed in Opportunities and makes no recommendation with regard to corporate assistance to any specific project.)
Girls Global Education Fund (GGEF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 1996 to provide scholarships to girls in developing countries who would otherwise be unable to attend school. GGEF gives scholarships to girls in primary, junior high, and high school. GGEF covers the cost of sending girls to school for the entire year, and if necessary, also pays for transportation to school and lunch. To remain in our program, a student must complete the school year with satisfactory grades and attendance. In 1997, GGEF launched its pilot program in Guangxi, China, sending 63 girls to school. To date, GGEF has sponsored more than 150 girls, all of whom completed the school year and returned for the next. GGEF also sponsors several college and vocational school students.

IIRR has more than 40 years of experience conducting international training courses in participatory rural development methodologies and is well placed to work with Chinese institutions in Southwest China. Research by these partner institutions has demonstrated a need to improve rural development practices in some of China's poorest, most remote regions through developing local-level officials' abilities—as well as their local community partners' abilities—to implement participatory, people-centered, and integrated rural development. The goal is for the Chinese partner institutions to work in communities and develop, and eventually conduct, training courses for county and township officials. IIRR has conducted multiple training courses, study programs and field projects with PRC agencies and organizations in China, as well as at IIRR's campus in the Philippines. In September 2004, IIRR established an office in Kunming, Yunnan, China. IIRR is currently seeking corporate scholarships and corporate and individual contributions for the China Program. Contact Information: NOTE: The China Business Review encourages contributions to Opportunities from organizations that have developed joint US-PRC charitable, cultural, and educational projects that seek US corporate support. Interested organizations should submit full details of their project(s) in the format above by e-mail to publications@uschina.org with "Opportunities Submission" in the subject line. |
