The children we take come from very poor families or are
orphans living with elderly grandparents. Almost all children have been
recommended to us by local Government Welfare Department of Urumqi and
by Local Education Institutes. Each child is visited by our manager to
clasify each child. Once the child has been registered with Dawn
Foundation, the child's education and welfare becomes the responsibilty
of Dawn Foundation.
Some Children are also sponsored to attend state schools and their progress monitored to ensure they are achieving results set by the Chinese Goverment Education Department.

 | The elderly we look after are either grandparents of orphans who find it difficulty maintaining their welfare or Elderly who do not have any family members to support them.
Dawn Foundation assists the elderly by providing for example fuel for winter, day help or general welfare.

Our School
After three and half years of renting classrooms from private schools and moving from one to another, Dawn Foundation finally accomplished a goal to run it's own school. This milestone was achieved last year when an opportunity to lease a school consisting of seven classrooms and an office.
|  |
 | The school receives regular visits from City Education
Department who inspect and make recommendations to improve standard of
the school. |
| Since the opening of this school, the number of children
attending have increased to two hundred. Unfortunately due to lack of
funds, the school had to turn away children desperate for help. |  |
