XIAOPING

EDUCATION FOUNDATION

An Equal Education Opportunity for Every Child

The XiaoPing Education Foundation, a Hong Kong-registered non-profit organization, was founded in 2001 by philanthropist Mr. P.H. Lau. Independent of any religious, political, or ideological affiliations, the foundation is dedicated to advancing educational equity in China. As one of the only 787 registered foreign NGOs in China, the foundation has been actively involved in educational initiatives across the country. Over two decades, it has supported Tsinghua University's distance learning initiatives, establishing 30 education centers nationwide—one in each province. Additionally, the foundation has constructed schools and provided scholarships to underprivileged students in remote regions, driven by a singular mission: ensuring every child, regardless of background, has access to quality education.

 

What do we do?



School Financing

Since our inception, we have constructed and funded over 400 schools and educational facilities to address the urgent needs of children in remote regions, eliminating the grueling hours-long treks they once endured just to reach a classroom. In recent years, as China has eradicated extreme poverty and prioritized modernizing its education infrastructure—ensuring state-of-the-art schools now dot even the most distant communities—our mission has evolved. Since the 2010s, we have redirected our focus toward financial aid programs, scholarships, and grants. This shift ensures that while physical access to education has improved dramatically, economic barriers no longer stand in the way of a child’s potential. Our commitment remains steadfast: empowering every student, regardless of circumstance, to thrive academically.


Scholarship and Financial Aid

We have supported over twenty thousand high school students and more than one thousand students pursuing teacher education and tertiary studies. Our financial assistance, though modest, aims to nurture the brilliant minds who will shape tomorrow and those who will educate generations to come. By investing in human capital and knowledge, we hope to contribute meaningfully to the country's long-term development and prosperity.

 


Where are we?

Our footprints over the years can be found in 9 provinces across China. Our co-sponsored remote education centres with Tsinghua University and our graduates can be found in every Province.
