Since its inception, Amway Charity Foundation (ACF) has enjoyed wide support from Amway distributors. The Spring Sprout Project, an initiative by ACF to improve nutrition of poor children in rural areas, has been widely recognized for its concrete results. As of 2012, the Project has set up over 750 kitchens in 45 counties of 8 provinces, benefitting over 350,000 rural children.
Now over 26 million children in impoverished rural areas in China are affected by malnutrition and inadequate meals. In order for more children to get healthy, nutritious food, ACF, in cooperation with China National Committee for the Care of Children (CNCCC), has set up a “Spring Sprout Fund” at China Next Generation Education Foundation (CNGEF) in Oct 2012 to support the Spring Sprout Project.
You are invited to join a monthly donation program whereby a monthly donation of 100 yuan for a 12-month period, or a total of 1,200 yuan in a lump sum, can help cover the kitchen operation fee for children in poor regions. With your generous support, we are hoping to provide the children in poverty-stricken areas an equal opportunity of healthy growth!
