Thanks to this collaboration, SOCF will be able to support Couleurs de Chine’s charitable causes by the funds it raises or receives in China, especially the funds from corporate sponsors in China who will benefit from a tax deduction. Both Individuals and companies will have access to the payment ways provided by SOCF for their donations and sponsorships.
With the support of SOCF, this collaboration will also broaden the channels for helping from sponsors, through which sponsors can support poor students by donating tuition fees and living expenses.
The aim of this collaboration is to further promote the education situation in the region of Great Miao Mountains in Guangxi, where Couleurs de Chine has been present for more than 20 years.
« A great collaboration that will develop the organization’s tools to help children from the region to choose their own life! »
