Although China is now, since 2010, offering financial subsidy to them, caring of orphans and the impoverished remains a concern. With our relenting effort to assist the disadvantaged, Sowers Action has expanded its program to providing basic needs and care for this group. In 2012, our member council decided to further the organization\u2019s efforts in providing care and access to education to this group.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;]<div class=\" ubtn-ctn-left \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-left ubtn-small \" href=\"https:\/\/sowers.hk\/sower-chi-home\/\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-3894\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-small ubtn-fade-bg  none  ubtn-left   tooltip-6ad17fdb34f11\"  data-hover=\"#ffffff\" data-border-color=\"#009900\" data-bg=\"#ffffff\" data-hover-bg=\"#009900\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-3894'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;border-radius:3px;border-width:1px;border-color:#009900;border-style:solid;background: #ffffff;color: #009900;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:#009900\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >See more<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"dt-fancy-separator title-left text-big\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-title\"><span class=\"separator-holder separator-left\"><\/span>School Construction and Facilities<span class=\"separator-holder separator-right\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-22936ad17fdb34f4a\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-22936ad17fdb34f4a uvc-6604  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-22936ad17fdb34f4a .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\">Our founding mission is to promote fair and equal education rights and opportunities, and one of our major actions is in the improvement of educational facilities in rural areas.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;]<div class=\" ubtn-ctn-left \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-left ubtn-small \" href=\"https:\/\/sowers.hk\/schools\/\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-5953\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-small ubtn-fade-bg  none  ubtn-left   tooltip-6ad17fdb34f64\"  data-hover=\"#ffffff\" data-border-color=\"#009900\" data-bg=\"#ffffff\" data-hover-bg=\"#009900\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-5953'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;border-radius:3px;border-width:1px;border-color:#009900;border-style:solid;background: #ffffff;color: #009900;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:#009900\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >See more<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"dt-fancy-separator title-left text-big\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-title\"><span class=\"separator-holder separator-left\"><\/span>Student Sponsorship<span class=\"separator-holder separator-right\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-84076ad17fdb34f97\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-84076ad17fdb34f97 uvc-6302  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-84076ad17fdb34f97 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\">Since 2006, the Chinese government has implemented a 9-year state-sponsored education scheme and at the same time offered subsidies on related expenses such as costs of dormitory and textbooks. While this makes basic education possible for all, attending senior high school and higher means of education remains out of reach for the impoverished. Drop-out rate post junior high school reaches as high as 30% and the main attributing factor is financial difficulties.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;]<div class=\" ubtn-ctn-left \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-left ubtn-small \" href=\"https:\/\/sowers.hk\/china-projects\/\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-2484\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-small ubtn-fade-bg  none  ubtn-left   tooltip-6ad17fdb34fb0\"  data-hover=\"#ffffff\" data-border-color=\"#009900\" data-bg=\"#ffffff\" data-hover-bg=\"#009900\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-2484'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;border-radius:3px;border-width:1px;border-color:#009900;border-style:solid;background: #ffffff;color: #009900;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:#009900\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >See more<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"dt-fancy-separator title-left text-big\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-title\"><span class=\"separator-holder separator-left\"><\/span>Teaching Training<span class=\"separator-holder separator-right\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-63696ad17fdb34fe3\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-63696ad17fdb34fe3 uvc-7143  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-63696ad17fdb34fe3 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\">A seedling needs tender care from its gardener, this is the true meaning behind the name of our organization where the seedling and the gardener symbolize the student and the teacher, respectively.
