How Far Have We Come
How your support has transformed the destinies of AIDS impacted children
Cumulatively sponsored/supported over 37,000 children and youth since 2002, ranging from junior school students, to junior high school, senior high school, vocational training school, university, and graduate school students.
Over 5,500 of sponsored students have gone on to university and graduate school. Over 4,200 of them have graduated and are now pursuing different careers in China and overseas, including sales, Internet, education, system engineering, finance, design, human resources, hotel catering, and medical care, etc.
2,300 sponsored students have received vocational school training among which about 1,900 students have graduated. About 30% of these students have been working in related industry.
Since day 1, around 20,000 students have graduated from school and are independent, contributing members of society.
Currently sponsoring around 7,000 students, including around 3,946 primary and junior high school students, 1,259 senior high school students, 383 vocational school students, and over 1,500 university students (including those in graduate schools). Chi Heng also provides caring services to more than 6,000 students in rural areas.
Statistics over the years show that 85% of our high school graduates go on to university education. This is a far higher percentage than those supported by other NGOs conducting education assistance work in China.
The students sponsored by Chi Heng led the Chinese team to win the 2020 Baking World Cup in 2020. This is the first time the Chinese team has been on the podium since the Baking World Cup was founded in 1992. With your support, more Chi Heng sponsored children in need have completely changed their lives and this is one of the example.
