Charitable fund for women, kids

SHENZHEN: Primary school teacher Ye Jiali pities Xiao Lu, an otherwise excellent student who faces the unappealing proposition of dropping out of school because her family cannot afford to pay her tuition fees.

As the youngest of four daughters, 11-year-old Xiao understands how difficult it is for her parents, both of whom are factory workers in Xili, Shenzhen, to raise a family on a low income.

"I hope the government can do something to help children like her, regardless of whether they are local residents or migrants," Ye told China Daily.
