13 March, 2008, Huawei donated a wheelchair accessible vehicle to the Italian Red Cross to mark World Kidney Day.

Huawei has set up a total of five Hope Schools in Ansai County of Shaanxi and Yongjing County of Gansu to help provide education to less privileged children. In addition, we donated USD 3.12 million to the National Education Commission of China for the establishment of the "Huawei Education Fund", which provides needy students with an undergraduate education.

Huawei's employees actively contribute to a sustainable and harmonious environment through various means, and have established an employee organization known as the "Association of Care", in order to facilitate employees' participation in community service activities during their free time. From 2002 to 2005, Huawei also donated over USD 2.66 million, along with computers and clothing, to schools in poverty-afflicted regions in China.

Our employees in overseas offices also actively do their part for society. At the end of 2005, every employee from our representative office in India donated half a day's worth of pay to Parikrma, a non-governmental organization that gives needy children access to education.
