Care for the needs across mainland China

World Vision has carried out emergency relief work in China since 1982. In recent years, despite enjoying a rapid economic growth, China has seen the rise of various social issues, such as rural-urban disparity in development and a widening gap between the rich and the poor. While attention is on the country's economic achievements, the needs of underprivileged children (especially left-behind children, migrant children, and children with disability) are often neglected.

Through World Vision China Partners, our monthly donation programme, you can work with us to care for children in mainland and support different areas of work of World Vision in China, helping the underprivileged children and families alleviate hardship in their everyday lives.


Left-behind Children

Left-behind children refers to those rural children whose parents have left for the city to work, that they have to live apart from their parents most of the time. More job opportunities and higher wages in the cities have drawn a large number of farmers to work in cities. Without direct support from their parents, left-behind children have to face challenges from their daily lives, study and development, resulting in them being more prone to having emotional or behavioural problems.

In 2020, there are more than 41.7 million left-behind children in villages in mainland China, and more than 25.1 million left-behind children in cities. 1


Migrant Children

Migrant children refers to children from rural area migrated to urban with their parents, the migrant workers. The parents, though working in urban area, can hardly transfer their household registered at the rural area originally. In China, since the household registration system is linked with many important social welfare and services, migrant children are deprived of a wide range of social welfare and services, including access to urban public school.

In 2020, there are around 71 million migrant children aged between 0-17 in mainland China, amounting to 23.9% of the total child population. Around 64 million of them live in cities, that is about 34.2% of the child population in the cities, which means every 1 in 3 children living in cities are migrant children. 1


Children with Disability

Children with disability are facing multiple challenges. The stigma that disabled people are the burden of the society and that they lack the potential to contribute has deprived them of career and vocational training opportunities. Besides, the parents of children with disability usually do not have access to rehabilitation services for their children, which is especially the case among low income families or rural families.

In 2018, there are about 5 million children with disability in mainland China. 2
