This British organisation’s work in China began in 1998 with support for an orphage in the ethnic Tibetan pastoralist county of Dritog, in Qinghai’s Yushu prefecture. The following year, after a winter of ‘snow disasters’, Children in Crisis received a grant from the European Union to provide emergency relief and rehabilitation to people in Dritog. Since then, the organisation has supported basic education in the same county by providing five ‘tent schools’ in remote areas, along with wells, kitchens, latrines, greenhouses to grow food for the children, and yak and sheep for the schools. A complementary project offered informal family health education to people from 20 remote communities. In 2004, Children in Crisis began to support a midwives training programme managed by the Jinpa Project, a charitable organisation based in Yushu.
Children in Crisis receives funds from individual and corporate donors, grants from Trusts and grants from the British government, the European Union and the national lottery.
