We SOAR across the ocean
To educate those in need
Non-Political. Non-Religious. Non-Profit.
We offer scholarships to impoverished and capable Chinese youths to help them complete secondary education.
We Find Those in Need
We directly work with rural schools to support hardworking students undergoing financial difficulties.
We Offer Support
In addition to our scholarship program, we also train teachers, provide meal subsidies, and donate school supplies.
We Reach Out
We pride ourselves on our grassroots donor network. We communicate with embassies, host events, and publish newsletters to keep everyone on the same page.
Our soaring numbers
We’ve come far in the last thirty years, and we only aim to soar ever higher. Our volunteer staff are never paid with your donations; it all goes to the students.
The problem at hand
Across the ocean, hundreds of thousands of bright students struggle to reach their full potential.
Educational resources and opportunities are not equally available to the rural population of China. A study published in 2016 revealed that over 50% of middle school graduates from extremely poor families in farming villages did not attend high school.
In terms of expenditure per student by educational institutions, China spent less than 1/4 of OECD average in a 2011 report. There are still many areas in education that require help from private funds.
We at the SOAR organization are one of the pioneer organizations for helping underprivileged youths with early education. We tailor our program to the actual needs of our students and teachers. We believe all students should have the opportunity to have early education regardless of financial hardship!
