Underprivileged children outreach

The Group has long worked to support disadvantaged groups, utilizing our core capabilities in the financial sector to build a philanthropic donation platform that aims to achieve a society with an equal distribution of resources and close the prosperity gap between urban and rural areas. We summon the collective power of customers, employees, suppliers, and the community to assist rural areas, children from disadvantaged families, people with physical and mental disabilities, and other disadvantaged groups to exercise their right of equitable access to social and economic resources. We work to bridge the gap between urban and rural areas and build a society with equal opportunities and resources. Primary objectives include:

Utilize corporate financial services in conjunction with philanthropic donations to provide charitable organizations with financial support for their missions to care for rural and disadvantaged groups who lack material goods and equal opportunities because of poverty.
Support charitable organization activities. Invite value chain partners to join us in caring for children and people with disabilities to utilize our corporate influence and build good relationships.
Taking advantage of the convenience of fintech mobile payment to help small-scale stores such as rural stores or night market vendors through payment, to reduce the risk of cash transactions and management procedures, and to simplify mechanisms used for collection.

Yuanta Happiness Day - Tailor-Made“Happiness Gift Pack”for Children

Yuanta Financial Holdings and Yuanta Cultural and Educational Foundation jointly have organized the Yuanta Happiness Day to share happiness, love, and show care for 9 consecutive years. We give each child a customized-concept gift bag filled with things like new sportswear and sports shoes to encourage them to study hard. In addition, our colleagues also served as volunteers to join activities with children. For example, members of our staff shared their own financial skills to explain the importance of financial management in our “Little Buyer＂ wealth management course, which uses fun methods to teach children about the importance of financial management. The children benefit a lot from learning to keep track of their money and use it wisely to maximize their money. In order to remind everyone to take precautionary measures to protect themselves during the pandemic, the Happiness Day event also included pandemic prevention activities, such as a handwashing dance, based on popular dances, to teach the correct way to wash hands. It is our hope that volunteers from our Company can help more rural and economically disadvantaged children.
