Two public welfare projects of the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) won the China Charity Award at a ceremony in Beijing on September 5.
The China Charity Award was set up by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in 2005. It is the highest State-level award for charitable undertakings.
Two award-winning projects of the CCTF are the Spring Bud Companionship and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP) Spring Bud projects.
The Spring Bud Companionship project was launched by the CCTF in 2017. It is designed to provide the high school Spring Bud girls with companionship services like campus visit, camp activities and letter exchanges and focus its assistance through school empowerment, social caring, family support and the emphasis on personal development.
The objective is to help them acquire a deeper understanding of themselves and the society, grow up healthy, and acquire self-respect, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-improvement.
By the end of August, the project had provided financial assistance and other forms of aid to 48,000 Spring Bud girls in 14 provincial regions across the country and offered 192,000 girls companionship services besides helping them complete the high school studies.

Statistics shows that the PAP has donated over 131 million yuan (US $17.8 million) to the PAP Spring Bud project, helped 27,000 girls complete their studies, built 13 Spring Bud hope schools, 72 Happy Homes for Children and 12 multimedia classrooms and libraries.
As an important part of the Spring Bud Project, the PAP Spring Bud project is mainly implemented in the former impoverished "three regions and three prefectures," old revolutionary base areas, areas with large ethnic minority populations and other less-developed areas.
