We actively adhere to and serve the national strategy of “resolutely winning the fight against poverty”, implement the work plan of “a hundred enterprises helping a hundred villages” by Shanghai municipal government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and work in an orderly manner to help our paired poverty alleviation villages: Buka village of Kuangshan town and Banpo village of Malu township, Huize County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. The Company has solidly set three assistance goals: first, to earnestly fulfill the social responsibilities of a state-owned enterprise and strive to make positive contribution to the implementation of the national strategy; second, to focus on the poverty alleviation goal and strive to achieve full poverty alleviation in the paired regions; third, to promote continuously growth of the paired regions and improve the quality of their development.

On December 27, 2018, SIPG signed the “village-enterprise pairing framework agreement” and the “village-enterprise pairing project plan” with Buka village of Kuangshan town and Banpo village of Malu township, Huize County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province respectively, to establish the pairing partnership and carry out targeted paired assistance actions.

In 2019, a series of assistance actions were carried out in an orderly manner. In January, the first assistance program “warm the mountain villages with love” was launched. Winter clothes and cotton shoes prepared by the Company were distributed to poverty-stricken students of villagers’ primary schools, allowing 215 students to put on new clothes and shoes to pass the winter in warmth. In February, the two elementary schools in Banpo and Buka villages in Huize County started to benefit from our nutritious breakfast project which provided their 190 students with warm breakfast including milk and eggs every morning. In May, according to the 2019 assistance project proposal for Malu township and Kuangshan town provided by the Huize County Poverty Alleviation Office, the Company’s poverty alleviation project team discussed and agreed to implement an assistance project for Malu township: to build a boarding building for Buka’s primary school and a village-level clinic; as well as an assistance project for Kuangshan town: to build five units of cement concrete pavements for village roads. In July, we gave Banpo’s primary school teaching facilities and equipment such as all-in-one computers, electronic whiteboards, a campus broadcasting system, reading room tables and chairs, laboratory cabinets and instrument racks. In August, 17 outstanding students and teachers from Tongsun Hope Primary School in Changshun County and Shuili Hope Primary School in Libo County, Guizhou Province, as well as from Banpo Primary School and Buka Primary School in Huize County, Yunnan Province, were invited by the Company to visit Yangshan Deepwater Port, Shanghai Port History Museum, North Bund Greenspace, Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Children’s Library, watch the SIPG football club’s home match, participate in a charity get-together, and play in the Magic Jungle with children of SIPG employees, enjoying a happy and fulfilling holiday .
