Programs
Golden Courage International operates programs that help Chinese children and youth who live in extreme poverty and/or are affected or orphaned by AIDS. We help them with their urgent needs. And we guide the children and, in many cases, their remaining families, out of dark, harmful situations into bright, positive futures. Our strategy is to collaborate with the local government, the Chinese central government, local agencies, and international financial and educational resources to develop programs that will enrich the lives of these children, their families, and ultimately their communities.
Current Programs
One-on-One Help
In many poverty-ridden and AIDS-affected areas of China, children are forced to quit school to become caregivers and bread-winners for their families. One-on-One Help allows primary and middle-school-age children to continue their education and supports the health and job training needs of their families so they can become self-sufficient. The program delivers services on three levels: individual, family, and community. Read More
Great Expectations
Because China only offers nine years of public school education to all children, youth living in extreme poverty, regardless of their potential or past school performance, cannot afford to continue their education. These young people are typically forced into a life of hard labor. Great Expectations helps high-school-age youth living in extreme poverty who have shown academic promise obtain a high school education. Read More
Rural Teaching Training Program
Golden Courage International is committed to sponsoring at least two rural teachers in remote areas in 2009-2010 who otherwise would apply for training but have little chance to pass the vigorous tests and challenging application process. In addition, GCI will provide leadership by bringing experienced teachers from Beijing, other cities as well as other countries to these rural areas for on the ground training. Read More
Child Sponsor Program
The Child Sponsor Program helps to meet the specific needs of one child in the Golden Courage International program. This support provides for the education, health, nutrition, housing, clothing and general well-being of a child carefully chosen for their potential to flourish and succeed through hard work and determination.
