Problem to be solved
- Disadvantaged children and their families: Due to special family circumstances such as low income, bereavement, and intergenerational caring, children lack proper care and education.
- Children in need of early treatment: Economically disadvantaged families miss the golden period of early childhood care due to insufficient resources, thereby increasing the burden on families and social support costs.
- It is not easy for social welfare groups to raise funds: Their old and inadequate facilities affect the capacity of services, restricting students’ schoolwork activities and learning development. The reduced service capacity of social welfare groups is unable to support the workload of caring for disadvantaged families.

Beneficiary feedback
Modern children, growing up surrounded by an abundance of 3C products and multimedia, often experience hyperactivity, distraction, and anxiety, and are becoming increasingly unfamiliar with the natural environment. The Novatek Education Foundation, in collaboration with the Society of Wilderness, brings children back to nature, where they learn about plants, forage for wild vegetables, and create a creative meal together. The teachers were pleasantly surprised by the children's ability to observe, take action, and imagine, as they gathered, cleaned, prepared, and plated the dishes on their own! We would like to express our gratitude to the Novatek Education Foundation for their support, which enables us to continue bridging the gap between children and the environment.
Beneficiary feedback
Before I joined the Night-tutoring program, I had difficulty completing my homework and even found some questions hard to understand. Since joining the program, I have made progress, and I can now complete many of the questions on my own. I would like to thank the teachers for reviewing our homework and guiding us when we make mistakes. Thank you for providing us with books to read and meals to eat, and for generously sponsoring us with so much support!
