Vision and Mission
Children are the hope and the future of this world. Children play an integral role not only in carrying the culture from generation to generation, but also in shaping the future. We believe that education is key to allowing children to improve their quality of life, to reach their full potential, and to undertake their vital task of shaping a better future.
Horace Mann, an American education reformer in 19th century, stated that, education, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. James A. Garfield (1831-1881), the 20th president of the US said: next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
CHAFF’s mission is to provide educational support to children in need to address poverty and quality of life issues. CHAFF is dedicated to promote educational support to children with any available sources and tools. We are committed to supporting, helping and serving children with care, respect and commitment.
Core Operating Values
Caring and loving attitude - CHAFF will always demonstrate compassionate support and concern for children in need. We will share this caring and loving attitude with children, schools and partners.
Respectfulness – CHAFF will work with children and schools with respect. We honor and respect each child in need, encouraging each of them to reach his/her full potential.
Integrity and accountability – CHAFF will have the highest level of integrity in its administrative, service, and outreach activities; we will tie these activities directly to our mission, and we will maintain financial transparency.
Goals
CHAFF’s long term goal is to work with a wide range of individuals, companies, and organizations to promote children’s education, and to provide all necessary support to children in need. We would like to equip needy children with solid education through which they can acquire knowledge and wisdom, help themselves and their family to eradicate poverty, improve quality of life, and change the community and social encironment, shape a better future.
An important factor for a good education is reading good books. Love of reading is the foundation of education. Through reading, one can acquire knowledge, understanding and wisdom. In the next few years, CHAFF will be promoting its first project - a Book Drive for 100 schools. We plan to donate 100,000 books - a library of up to 1,000 books to 100 primary and pre-schools. The initial focus will be on poor and underserved rural and urban areas in China.
