In her annual report, Vice Chairman and Secretary General Ms. Zou Wei told the members that In 2010, the SSCLF had won warm support and cooperation from some world-famous enterprises, groups and individuals by inviting them to work together with us in implementing the projects sponsored by them. In so doing, the corporations and their staff members may see for themselves how the charity programs are carried out. It makes them feel that it is everybody’s social responsibility to extend his or her hands to the most needed, especially those women and children in the poorer regions. In this way, our key projects such as”Safety for Mothers and Infants”, “Firefly Project”. “Mobile Children’s Palace”, Soong Ching Ling Mobile Book Stacks” and “Student Aids” are gaining momentum and becoming more and more popular.
As a result, the SSCLF witnessed a remarkable increase in the donation revenues in 2010, with a total amount of RMB 58.11 million yuan, a 98% growth over that of the previous year. The total expenditures were RMB 23.566 million yuan, among which 90.9% were used for various charity projects.
According to Ms. Zou, In the past year SSCLF had attached special importance to the supervision over its operation. For that purpose, the Foundation has set up two expert consultative committees: one on maternity and child health care, and another on children’s culture and children’s education. Those committees, adhering to principles of “open, transparent and rational”, are to examine and approve the feasibility of all the project schemes and the candidates nominated for receiving donations.
In the year 2011, SSCLF shall continue to build up its credibility and accountability to the donors by strengthening the third party audit, project appraisal and feedback systems.
The board members had a heated discussion on the SSCLF work report with positive comments and constructive suggestions. They expressed their determination to make further contributions to the foundation as well as to the development of public welfare.
