The China Women’s Development Foundation (CWDF) has launched the “Everlasting Love, Shining Homes” Family Nurturing Plan in partnership with DBS Bank and the DBS Foundation. The initiative aims to improve household living conditions and strengthen family education for underprivileged families across China. Over the next two years, the program will support 2,000 low-income families in 10 provinces by renovating their living spaces to create dedicated study and living areas for children, enhancing privacy and safety.
In addition to physical improvements, the program will offer 130 online and in-person enrichment curricula covering education, humanities, nature, science, and financial literacy. This will empower parents and family members with family education resources, while fostering stronger parent-child relationships. The initiative is expected to benefit approximately 220,000 participants.
At the launch event in Beijing, CWDF chairperson Du Rui emphasized the organization’s commitment to improving the lives of women and families in need. DBS Bank (China) CEO, Ginger Cheng, also highlighted the program’s long-term significance, noting that family well-being plays a critical role in societal development. She emphasized that by improving living spaces for underprivileged children and providing deeper emotional support for families, the program is not only enhancing their quality of life but also contributing to the sustainable development of society.
This initiative demonstrates a collaborative effort to support underprivileged families, providing them with improved living conditions, education resources, and family education. The long-term benefits are expected to have a positive impact on the well-being of the families involved, as well as the broader community.
