Sponsoring a child in China with Plan International is one of the easiest ways to improve the lives of all children and to make sure girls have access to equal opportunities.
By becoming a child sponsor, you guarantee a child – and all children in their community – have everything they need to grow, learn and plan for their futures.
Child sponsorship helps tackle the root causes of discrimination, exclusion and vulnerability, and support some of the world’s most vulnerable children to thrive.
Outdated books and a lack of resources meant many school libraries in rural China were barely used, and kids rarely read for fun. But thanks to you, Plan International’s Library Information Management Program is breathing new life into libraries by updating materials and recruiting student volunteers.
Youth are learning how to catalog and check out books with kid-friendly software, and making library cards for fellow students to encourage them to read. Teachers are joining in by incorporating reading activities and contests into their lessons.
Fang, a library volunteer, is hooked. She’s discovered a deep love of reading and an exciting new career path too.
“When I grow up,” Fang says, “I want to be a college librarian and develop a great software to help people read more!”
