Starting from 1997, when Mr. Yang Guoqiang set up the Zhongming Fellowship, education-based poverty alleviation has all along been an important part of Country Garden’s targeted poverty alleviation efforts.
Exploring the "full lifecycle development education support" model, in addition to establishing scholarships and grants, Country Garden Group and the Guoqiang Public Welfare Foundation have founded three schools—Guohua Memorial Middle School, Guangdong Country Garden Vocational College, and Linxia Guoqiang Vocational and Technical School—to assist students from disadvantaged families in receiving quality education. With education leading the way in rural revitalization, Country Garden Group and the Guoqiang Public Welfare Foundation continuously explore new models for educational support. Through initiatives like the "Wish 100" education support action, they aim to establish long-term assistance mechanisms and create replicable, sustainable educational support projects, helping students from underdeveloped regions successfully complete their studies and contributing to the revitalization of rural education. As of July 2024, over 1.33 million students have benefited from this support.
