中华慈善日 科技向善传播真善美
中华慈善日 科技向善传播真善美


September 5 is the “Charity Day” in China. It started because of China’s charity law, which came into effect six years ago. This year, China has witnessed how technology plays a bigger role in the country’s charity career.

There are over 85 million disabled people in China. With the development of technology in the country, more charity organizations and people have realized the importance of using it to help people in need.

Huang Shuai is the director of Chuangshan Community. He is running special projects to create mobile apps and provide help for people with physical challenges. “For a lot of disabled people, daily actions that are necessary in today’s world, like using a mouse, typing on keyboards or using smartphones, can be very hard to finish,” he said. In Chuangshan Community, many of the volunteers are middle school students. They try their best to solve the problem for people in local charity houses.

Tech professionals have realized that technology is a game changer in the world of charity. Tencent started a charity activity called “99 Giving Day” and set up programs for donations to deal with all kinds of challenges that cause problems for the local and international community. They’ve offered all kinds of tech kits and cloud services to many non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local communities and colleges. Engineers can go and work as technology officers at NGOs and provide hands-on technology support.

Technologies, especially those that can be used by NGOs, and disabled people, will not only make our lives more convenient, but will also bring power and courage to people and connect our communities together.
