Seeds of Hope Charity
Seeds of Hope
• Seeds of Hope is a charity created by Yew Chung
International School (YCIS).
• The charity was formed in partnership with the China
Youth Development Foundation.
The Beginning of a Charity
• After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, all YCIS schools
collected money to send to those in the devastated
region.
• Inspired by the charitable efforts of each school, YCIS
decided to continue it’s charity projects through the
creation of ‘Seeds of Hope’.
Seeds of Hope Schools
• Each year, a ‘Seeds of Hope’ school is built to provide
education for underprivileged children in rural areas of
China.
• These schools are then supported by the YCIS schools
through visits and further donations of funds and
educational equipment.
Minzhu Primary School
• After the Sichuan earthquake, YCIS Schools helped
raise funds to rebuild the earthquake-damaged Minzhu
Primary School.
Qufu Seeds of Hope School
• The first official ‘Seeds of Hope’ school was built in Qufu
in Shandong province.
• The Qufu Hope School now provides education to 500
children, from 6 different villages.
• In May 2012, students from YCIS visited the children of
the Qufu Hope School, built a library and donated books.
Hebei Seeds of Hope School
• The second Seeds of Hope school was built in Hebei
Province.
• Every time our teachers and students visit the Seeds of
Hope school, they donate educational resources, play
games and teach the local children.
Guangdong Seeds of Hope School
• The third ‘Seeds of Hope’ school was built in Shaoguan,
Guangdong Province in 2014.
Future Project
• The next location for a Seeds of Hope school will be
Chongqing!
How Do We Raise Funds
• All students, staff and parents raise fund though:
• Charity projects such as bake sales, talent shows and
community events throughout the year.
• We have an annual Seeds of Hope concert in one YCIS
school with all proceeds going towards our charity.

Secondary students.

Our Motto
• YCIS will align with love and charity
• This motto is part of all YCIS Schools in which character
education is taught as a vital pillar in our curriculum.

educate future leaders who care about their society.
