1.Bridging the Digital Divide

Huawei is dedicated to enriching life through communication.In 2011, we improved information access indevelopingcountries and remote areas and developed ICT talent through our social projects aimed at leveraging the enormous potential of communications technologies to bridge the digital divide.

Case Study: "Telecom Seeds for the Future" project

To narrow the gap between the knowledge learnt at school by ICT students and the current state of the industry, and to support local ICT talent, Huawei continued to implement the "Telecom Seeds for the Future" project in 2011 by cooperating with ICT colleges to offer scholarship projects and training programs. As an important part of the project, Huawei cooperated with universities and educational institutions in many countries to establish the Huawei Authorized Network Academy (HANA). It provides training programs in IP and optical transmission for both teachers and students and with career certifications. Huawei will continue to globally promote the Telecom Seeds for the Future project throughout 2012.

Indonesia

Huawei worked with Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) to establishHANA dedicated to promoting ICT talent. An STEI/ITB/Huawei datacom IP advanced training center was launched in April 2011 to serve as a technical development base for students, employees, third-party partners, and end users. Through this program, 500 excellent technical professionals will be trained each year.

Malaysia

Huawei worked with the Malaysian government to establish HANA. Huawei will collaborate with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) and Dream Catcher Consulting over the next five years to set up a global training and professional testing facility to promote Huawei engineers’ certifications along with the Malaysian government. Datacom engineers’ certification will be promoted first.

Kenya

Huawei cooperated with the telecommunications carrier S and three local universities (Moi, JKUAT, and Nairobi Universities) to help engineering students in Kenya master the latest communications skills to meet current industry needs. "The facets of technology keep changing every day, and for students to remain competitive in the job market or in their own entrepreneurial endeavors - they require modern training. Thanks to Huawei for making this possible", said Dr. Bitange Ndemo, PS Ministry of Information and Communications, Kenya.

Morocco

On June 27, 2011, Huawei established HANA in cooperation with the National Institute of Post and Telecommunications (INPT) in Morocco,as the first HANA project in North Africa.

2.Creating Opportunities Through Education

Huawei believes that education is vital for creating opportunities that support sustainable and fair development in the countries in which we operate. We are particularly focused on leveraging communication technologies to improve the conditions of education system and to provide more young people with opportunities in education. Huawei is achieving this goal throughthe cooperation with educational institutions.Our efforts to improve the quality of education have been recognized by the society. We have been granted with the "Support and Improvement in Quality of Education Category" Award from Blue Dart World CSR Day and Star News in India.

Case Study: E-hope Program to Provide Computer Education to Students in the Developing Regions of India

In most schools in rural areas of India, helping students become more familiar with the outside world is a long-term challenge. Facing this issue, Huawei launched the E-hope for Rural Education program in October 2010. The aim is to build a bridge to the outside world through computers for students in rural areas and enable the students to conveniently obtain a wide range of information and knowledge. To fulfill this goal, Huawei plans to providecomputers, Internet access, and information technology training to1,000 public schools across India over the next three years. In 2011, Huawei promoted this program in 400 schools in Orissa, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Rajasthan. In 2012, this program will be promoted to more remote schools in Himachal, Bihar, and Rajasthan. Each year, 300,000 students will benefit from this program.

"Modern education is incomplete without an early introduction of computers and relevant technologies", said the Honorable Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Sheila Dikshit at the opening ceremony of the E-hope program in Deli. "I welcome this initiative from Huawei, for their commitments and contributions to bridging the digital divide in India."

Case Study:Huawei Undergraduate Work Experience Program

Developing ICT talent by working with prestigious colleges is a key focus for Huawei in education. In the Huawei Undergraduate Work Experience Program, Huawei selected students from top ICT universities to go to its headquarters in China for training and practical activities. This program includes an introduction to Huawei, training programs on ICT basics, lab visits, and interactions with Huawei employees.

In August 2011, Huawei cooperated with the UK's University of Southampton and the Royal Holloway University of London, as well as France's École Polytechnique. 14 college students were chosen for a 3-week internship in China. It was an opportunity for these students to become better acquainted with Huawei and extend their ICT knowledge. This project was supported by local governments, such as the education department, and was deeply appreciated by the universities and students. One student participant commented, "I would recommend this internship program to others, as it was really one of the most valuable and significant experiences of my life so far."

In 2012, Huawei will continue this program and cooperate with additional colleges.

3. Promoting Environmental Sustainability

Huawei recognizes the need for every enterprise to play a role in protecting the world's environmental resources. Huawei adheres to the concept of "Green Communications, Green Huawei, and Green World" and is actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with partners on green programs that promote environmental protection and sustainable development.

Case Study: Tree planting initiative in Pakistan

In collaboration with Pakistan's Capital Development Authority (CDA), on March 2011, Huawei participated in a Tree Planting Day activity to make the local environment more beautiful and promote the environmental awareness of people in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital. More than 1,000 pine saplings were planted by Huawei. This activity was part of a large tree planting initiative involving governments and enterprises, with the theme of promoting environmental protection locally.

"This program aims to promote public awareness of environmental protection by planting trees that make the local environment more beautiful", said the CEO of Huawei Technologies Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. "Actually, Huawei has always been an initiator in promoting public sectors, especially environmental protection, which is a crucial part of sustainable development."

4. Contributing to the Communities Where We Operate

Huawei is committed to supporting communities where we operate by contributing to the welfare, health, and disaster relief in these locations. We provide the communities with financial, material, and human resources to help build a better world.

Case Study: Support for drought relief efforts by donating to the Red Cross in Kenya

In 2011, Kenya experienced its worst drought in six decades, affecting 3.5 million people. To support the Kenya Red Cross in its disaster relief efforts, Huawei actively participated in the "Kenyans for Kenya" initiative and donated KES9.4 million for humanitarian relief.

The "Kenyans for Kenya" campaign brings together the KCB Foundation, Safaricom Foundation, and the country's mainstream media operating under the framework of the Media Owners Association (MOA), with the goal of raising KES1 billion over four weeks. The funds help finance immediate aid such as emergency food relief and water delivery, and medium-range solutions that include rehabilitating or digging wells, setting up greenhouses, and improving food security. "I would like to thank Huawei for supporting this campaign through their generous contribution of KES9.4 million to help thousands of Kenyans who are currently in dire need of food and medical treatment, as a result of the effects of drought", said Abbas Gullet, the Secretary General of Kenya Red Cross.

Case Study: Care Association – Expression of charity and good will

Huawei encourages its employees to participate in community activities and has established the "Care Association" to help employees actively participate in community services and charity activities.
