$10,000 Raised, $5,000 to Go

The Lan Cun Primary School has broken ground on the new cafeteria, but there's still work to be done including buying tables and chairs, kitchen equipment, and supplies for the hot lunch program. Please help us fund this much needed effort!

Our Mission

The Lan Cun Education Project will build, staff, and supply a cafeteria and kitchen at the Lan Cun Primary School, a public elementary school serving in a very poor, rural community in southern China.

The kids in Lan Cun are among those living in "extreme poverty," meaning that their families are struggling to live on less than US$1 a day. The kids here face another challenge--their school serves a vast community, and so many students spend three hours a day crossing difficult and dangerous terrain between home and school. To make matters worse, because the school has no cafeteria, all students must leave school premises during lunch hours. The poorest students often live farthest away. Having no place to go, and in some cases no food to eat, many head home early and miss the second half of the school day.

Your tax-deductible donation will pay for hot lunches and a safe place for the kids of Lan Cun to learn and grow. We and the children of Lan Cun thank you so much for your support.
