Beijing Jingyan Foundation's 9th Anniversary: Staying True to Our Mission, Innovating for a Brighter Future

As time passes and seasons change, Beijing Jingyan Foundation proudly celebrates its 9th anniversary.

On the path toward fulfilling its noble vision, the Foundation has never faltered, continuously moving forward with steadfast commitment and passion. From December 2015 to December 2024, reflecting on the over 3,000 days and nights it has journeyed, the Foundation has remained grounded, sincere, and driven by unwavering enthusiasm.

From medical aid to comprehensive support, from health education to training doctors, and from individual case interventions to systemic solutions, Jingyan has steadily advanced with determination. Over the past nine years, we’ve built a solid foundation, step by step, and made steady progress through our shared commitment.

We’ve focused on three major childhood diseases—thalassemia, congenital heart disease, and premature birth—providing nationwide assistance to children in need.

We’ve invested over 77.25 million yuan to protect children’s lives and health while supporting their families’ well-being and development.

We’ve assisted more than 2,300 children in their battle against illness, standing by them in their fight and racing against time.

We’ve trained over 1,400 grassroots doctors, equipping them with essential knowledge on thalassemia prevention and connecting them with top-tier medical resources.

We’ve organized over 130 large-scale events, creating a high-quality health education network to help prevent major diseases for even more children.

We’ve held nearly 2,000 hospital activities, brightening the spirits of children and accompanying them on their treatment journeys.

We’ve visited more than 500 families, understanding their needs and listening to their stories with empathy and care.

……

Behind these numbers are the dedication and efforts of the Jingyan team, the trust and collaboration of our many family members and partners, and, above all, the clearest proof of our steadfast commitment to our mission.

Love Lasts, 9 Years and Beyond

As a family-driven foundation, the concept of "family" has been at the heart of the Beijing Jingyan Foundation’s growth. We consider everyone who joins us on this journey as part of our family, always empathizing with their needs and caring for them and their loved ones. The bond we share with the Jingyan family and our partners mirrors the love between family members—thoughtful, warm, genuine, unwavering, and lasting.

Many children with thalassemia live in remote areas, where their families often face financial hardships due to the long-term nature of their treatment. Parents, stretched thin with work, are doing their best to make ends meet. To address this, we launched the Healthy China Tour, bringing esteemed medical experts closer to these communities, ensuring more children are diagnosed and treated.

We also considered the challenges children face after surgery—whether they would recover smoothly and whether their families had the means to provide essential recovery supplies and create a supportive environment. To ease this burden, we developed the Jingyan Care Package, a collection of necessary post-surgery items provided free of charge.

For younger patients who need long-term care and parental presence during treatment, we understand the added strain on the rest of the family. To support them, we offer living subsidies to these special families.

As these children return to school, they need encouragement and recognition. That’s why we launched the Morning Star Plan program, offering scholarships and grants to these resilient children and their siblings.

The road to recovery for children with severe illnesses is long, challenging, and often filled with setbacks. We wanted to bring more joy and positivity to their recovery journey. Through our partnership with hospitals, we introduced the Lele Box Plan and organized ward activities to uplift their spirits and motivate them.

……

With heartfelt dedication over the past nine years, we have earned the gratitude and appreciation of countless children and families, as well as widespread recognition and numerous honors from all corners of society. These are not only the rewards of our steadfast efforts but also the driving force propelling us forward.

Nine Years of Renewal

At its core, driven by love and rooted in kindness, the Beijing Jingyan Foundation's philanthropic mission has been continuously refined and elevated through years of dedicated practice. As the Foundation grows, it continues to explore new horizons and make steady progress on the path of "passing on virtues and fostering a philanthropic society," keeping its original vision ever-renewed and vibrant.

Beginning with the mission of helping "one child" escape the torment of illness, expanding to support "one family" in overcoming poverty, and ultimately reaching out to "more children" and "more families," our vision has continuously broadened. We focus on the future and development of children and families, exploring systematic solutions to societal challenges, and enriching philanthropy with diverse, hands-on experience.

Building on years of in-depth work in thalassemia medical assistance, the Jingyan Foundation officially launched the Zero Thalassemia Plan in 2023. In partnership with government departments, the program aims to eliminate thalassemia in high-incidence areas by offering financial and technical support, helping the government promote root cause management, and advancing efforts to prevent and reduce birth defects.

With our extensive experience working with thalassemia patients, families, and hospitals, we have collaborated with academic institutions to conduct research. Through firsthand data, we shed light on the survival challenges faced by severe thalassemia patients and the struggles of their families, gathering support to improve public policies for thalassemia prevention and treatment.

Additionally, we are actively implementing the new Charity Law and exploring international exchanges and collaborations in the philanthropic sector. By addressing global issues such as children’s health, education, and sustainable development, we are seeking new opportunities for cooperation and meaningful impact.

A Continuing Journey

For nine years, the Beijing Jingyan Foundation has moved forward with steady determination and unwavering commitment.

We’ve journeyed to remote villages and ancient settlements in the southwest, and to small fishing towns on far-flung islands in the south. From the mountains and rural areas to grassroots hospitals, we’ve been embraced by the families of children whose lives we’ve touched.

As time passes, our core mission grows ever more resolute with each step we take.

The Foundation’s path of philanthropy is far from over. We remain dedicated to ensuring health for all and alleviating suffering, firmly believing that our steadfast love will help many people reconnect with hope and a brighter future.
