It was recently estimated that roughly 8,000,000 rural children in China have no access to reading materials other than textbooks.  Literacy is a basic human right.  However, poverty has put these children at a significant disadvantage, casting a shadow on their early development with long lasting effects.

 

Back in 2004, founding members of PLCF started sending books to thousands of rural children.  In the first two years of its existence, PLCF carried out projects (collectively called Pass Love Project) to aid children in some poor areas of China by providing books, tuition assistance, and short-term teaching assignments with varied results.

Learned from its early experience, PLCF launched the in 2008 to physically establish quality libraries in poorest areas of China to help rural children and teachers.  The program has rapidly established 50+ such libraries (click here for details).  By providing quality books and child-friendly library environment and by engaging children with books in meaningful ways, the Dandelion Village Library Program effectively sparks children’s passion for reading and helps them develop a lifelong habit of reading.
