Hape China’s 2022 Charitable Work So Far

At Hape, we believe that every child has the right to play and have fun, and our philanthropic programs support children and families from around the world, helping them access education, toys and learning materials, and empowering them to overcome the barriers that stand in their way. Through our charitable grants and in-kind product donations, we bring love, play and learning to every child in need.

With the first half of 2022 officially being over, we’d like to take this opportunity to highlight our philanthropic initiatives, endeavours that have impacted over 7055 children and families in China.

Hape-Huji ‘Preschool of the Future’Project

In 2021, Hape (China) - together with its subsidiary company, European EducationAll (Ningbo) Ltd., and in collaboration with the Shanghai Huji Foundation and the German Association for Economic Cooperation (Deutsche Investitions - und Entwicklungsgesellschaft, DEG) - launched the Hape-Huji ‘Preschool of the Future’ Project. The project aims to strengthen access to, and quality of, early childhood education for 3–6-year-olds in rural Yunnan, China.

Until now, we granted 180.491,00 euros of philanthropic support to the project, and distributed a total of 7140 toys worth over 31,000 euros to the 21 Kindergartens that were built. So far, our project has benefitted up to 484 children and their families, and the total of direct beneficiaries are 1936 people.

Supporting Children in the Local Community through Our Local Charity Fund

We care about the people and local communities we are working in and take an active role in supporting and empowering children of families with low income. In 2017, Hape partnered with the Ningbo Beilun Charity Federation to set up a 5 million RMB charity fund, over a 10-year period. The fund was created to bring joy, happiness and access to education to local preschooler and primary school children.

During the first six months of 2022, our local charity fund programs included:

- Over 13.000,00 euros to the Beilun District Chaiqiao Primary School to support poverty-stricken students

- Over 13.000,00 euros to the Beilun District Chaiqiao Primary School’s Youth Soccer Club

- Over 19.000,00 euros to organise story-telling gatherings for children in Beilun District

The three programs benefitted up to 1100 children.

In July 2022, Hape partnered with the Chinese digital charity platform “YiCang” that helps to distribute toys for free to families who cannot afford to buy gifts for their children. Hape donated 20.000,00 euros worth of toys to Yicang.

Donating Toys to Children of Low-Income Factory Workers
