About Us

The Hometown Education Foundation (HEF) is a charitable organization, established in 2004 by Tonghai Yang , to financially help the poor students in rural China to continue their basic education. All donations are tax deductible in the United States and go directly to help the needy students 100 percent.

  1. 100 percent of your donation goes to the needy students. I cover the little overhead here, and each school we serve contributes 200 Yuan RMB to cover overhead in China. All is done by volunteers and no one is paid by the charity.
  2. At each school we serve, we have at least once volunteer teacher to help us choose students and to make sure that all the donation really goes to the needy students. They visit at their homes and/or talk with their main teachers.
  3. I visit some of the students every summer at their homes. I have seen first hand how poor they are and how our support have positively affected them. You can see my visits at

and links there.

5. If you prefer personal connection, sponsorship is a great way to support a specific student, with whom you can have personal communication. It gives them even more encouragement while giving you some satisfaction on how your good heart has really helped someone in need. The annual suggested donation for sponsorship is $100(800 CNY), $100(800 CNY), and $200(1200 CNY) for an elementary, middle, and high school.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact me (Tonghai Yang) at thyang63@gmail.com or 608-770-3229, or WeChat me at TonghaiHF.
Please share it with your friends and colleagues, and encourage them to support us too. Your donation is tax deductible.
