Love & Hope

Love & Hope Center is a non-profit organization providing vocational training for underprivileged children to broaden their opportunities for future work. Urban centers attract hundreds of thousands of families from rural China, yet the children of these families are often unable to receive basic education. Many of them become involved in criminal activities, or become depressed, which often leads to suicide. Love&Hope's purpose is to provide educational and social values for these migrant children, left-behind children and the children in special need.

MCF - School

Founded in 2010 as a UK registered Charity (Charity Commission Number 1154709), MCF is a voluntary non-profit cultural organization that provides educational opportunities and resources for disadvantaged children in Beijing and Tianjin. This includes giving children medical checkups and eye tests as well as dental care to ensure that they are both fit and healthy while benefiting from their schooling. We believe in meeting children’s educational needs and improving their cultural awareness. MCF recognizes the importance of not only the services provided to the children but also the fact that those that provide the services are also benefiting from the experiences of engaging with the children. We value this 'giving back' factor and also emphasize it in all our programs. Most importantly, we always seek sustainable development, focusing not just on the children’s present but also on their future, where possible.
