About our work

In Mainland China, the household registration system (Hukou) and unequal access to education and social resources have given rise to two vulnerable groups: left-behind children in rural areas and migrant children in cities. Left-behind children often lack parental care due to parents working away from home, while migrant children face limited support as their parents work long hours under financial strain. Both groups encounter challenges in learning, safety, personal development, and social integration.

Oxfam and its partners support these children by improving family and school education, promoting community inclusion, and expanding development opportunities. These efforts aim to uphold children's rights and create a fairer, more supportive environment for their growth.

Together, we can transform more lives!
