CEDAR Fund was established in Hong Kong in 1991 to provide a channel for Hong Kong Christians ‘to fulfill their duty to care for the poor.’ That year, it joined in emergency relief efforts for flood victims in East China. Since then, the Fund has gone on to support more than 60 projects in 15 developing countries.
In China, the Fund both makes grants for projects carried out by other international and local organisations, and also implements projects itself in collaboration with local government agencies. International partners have included Project Grace (see page xx) who have received support for a village doctor training programme, in Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna Prefecture, including community healthcare activities in the Kunge (昆格) and Mengla (勐腊區); and Evergreen Family Friendship Services (永青社, see page yy), which has received support for a ‘Healthy Baby/Prenatal Care Programme and Family Medicine Training’ in Shanxi Province. Local partners have included Sichuan’s Holy Love Foundation (圣爱基金会), which provides services for disabled children and their families.
CEDAR also funds and/or implements projects in water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS prevention and rural/community development. In Gansu Province, it supports women’s literacy classes and a revolving loan fund in Lanzhou, and an income generation program in Pingliang County. In 2000, following visits to some of the most remote and poorest villages in Hubei and Bulang minority areas of Yunnan, the Fund established three-year integrated community development projects in the two provinces, in co-operation with the local governments.
CEDAR is also currently providing financial assistance to more than one hundred Miao, Yi, and Lisu students in Yunnan, and to thirty special needs children and ten blind students at the Harbin School for the Blind.
CEDAR Fund is funded primarily by donations from Hong Kong Christians and churche, but also sometimes channels funds from other private international agencies.
