 After the earthquake on May 12th 2008, some children lost both parents, becoming orphans. More children, however, lost one parent. What were originally happy, complete families became single-parent families. Still other families, though fortunately remaining complete, have lost their ability to work, and can no longer keep a normal life. Despite their impoverished state, it is incredibly difficult for children with families in difficulty to get government assistant. This sponsorship program focuses on those children lost one parent or orphans living with extended family member, to improve their living by proving relief assistances.
l Who do we help? Orphans or children in single-parent families from birth to 16 years old in Sichuan. Children from birth to age 16 in Sichuan with two parents who lost their ability to work due to the earthquake
l How do we help? Money will be disbursed every three months from CWLC. A receipt supplied by the guardians is needed. This subsidy will continue until recipient completes job training and becomes employed.
l What are the subsidies? RMB 330 for each child per-month; RMB 3,960 for a whole year.
l How do donors get updates? Workers at the CWLC's Hope Centers in Sichuan province will distribute funds to recipients' families or schools every three months, and prepare reports for the sponsor.
l To join us, you can: 1. Be the sponsor for one child or more than one child, offering them a better life. 2. Be a volunteer in CWLC office in Sichuan or Beijing, helping with documentation and translation.
