The NBA has partnered with the Yao Foundation​ to improve the educational experience of children all across China. Founded by a former NBA superstar from China, Yao Ming, the mission of the foundation is to promote the all-around development of Chinese youth by providing opportunities to improve themselves in the aspect of education, sports skills, health and self-esteem.
 
Their work encompasses an enormous range of activities, and has directly benefitted more than 500,000 students across 25 provinces of China. From rebuilding schools to improving exercise facilities, the Yao Foundation also partners with more than 20 companies operating in China to improve the facilities of existing schools by providing libraries, computers, kitchens, and exercise facilities.

The Love & Hope Project was developed by the China Association of Social Workers (CASW) and the TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital (TICH) of Tianjin to fund heart surgery for two-to-14-year-old children born with heart conditions or who suffer from heart disease. The project is specifically aimed at orphans and children from severely deprived families.
 
Between 2008 and 2015, ConocoPhillips donated RMB 5.75 million (approx. US $1 million) to fund heart surgery for about 400 severely underprivileged children born with congenital heart disease.  In addition to donations, the company’s Employee Volunteer Committee frequently calls on employees to visit children receiving treatment at the hospital.
