Captivating China

China has taken incredible steps to eradicate extreme poverty. Still, in isolated remote locations, challenges remain.

Here are two key reasons why China needs our help:

Rural Disparities

Remote and rural regions in China face significant income and opportunity gaps, leaving many without basic needs and services. According to the 2018 Statistics Bulletin on National Economic and Social Development, the average income in urban areas is almost three times higher than in rural areas.

Inability to Progress

Women and mothers in rural areas often lack access to education and income-producing skills, leaving them working on family farms and caring for elders. For many, expenses exceed income, placing strain on the household. Girls in these families risk not finishing high school due to boarding costs and the pressure to support their families.

Our solution:

One More Year Scholarship Program

Aims to keep a girl in school for an extra year (hopefully longer). We understand that each additional year in school significantly improves a child's prospects: they earn more money, become better individuals, and make better life choices.

Chicken Farming Program

Empowering families in remote Sichuan with home-based chicken businesses to secure stable incomes, improve economic conditions, and provide better educational opportunities for their children.

Husky Energy Tailoring Skills Program for Women

Bringing hope and opportunity to underprivileged women in Qinghai. For three months, 30 women will receive intensive tailoring training and learn valuable life skills on how to become truly independent.

Pig Farming Program

Empowering women in remote Sichuan through pig farming training to secure stable incomes, improve family economic conditions, and provide better educational opportunities for their children.

Send a Volunteer Teacher Program

In remote Sichuan mountain schools, finding teachers willing to stay is tough. Captivating supports volunteer teachers by covering living and transport expenses and offering a small performance incentive.
