Current Initiatives
 All of Great Wall Cares’ current projects
have the central goal of achieving sustainable solutions to the
local development issues facing rural China.
Giving:
By the benefit of our parent organization Great Wall Adventure Club
we donate used computers, books, and other important educational
tools to local schools (such as the elementary school and middle
school along the Gubeikou Great Wall for example). Great Wall
Adventure Club’s tour guides and drivers also donate items of value
that they no longer use to these community’s students and parents.
Through several programs we also encourage those traveling with
Great Wall Adventure Club to lend a helping hand as well, be it
donations of items (PCs, stationary, etc.), rounding up the price of
tours, or even in valuable cultural exchanges.
Teaching: We send our employees and other associates to teach
the local residents in their villages about how to properly operate
these new computers and other donated items, along with working to
improve their internet literacy, English skills and other knowledge
and skills that they will need to succeed in this 21st
century world.
Training: We the local farmers and other residents on how to
better serve Western visitors and guests. This includes hands-on
courses in hostel hospitality, business management, and English. As
much of the communities here rely on Great Wall tourism, these
courses will be invaluable to their ability to stay current and
thrive.
Support
existing organizations: We have a multitude of clients and
partnerships in Beijing and around the world, and we actively engage
them to support the causes of Great Wall Cares. The hotels that
Great Wall Adventure Club has in Beijing provide hospitality
training, and more aid and materials are given through our other
business partners. In addition, our partner charity organizations in
the USA and U.K. also support our efforts and work with us in
providing these rural communities the aid, education, and technical
know-how they need.
