SAVE THE CHILDREN

We work with Save the Children to improve the lives of tea-growing communities in rural China. Find out the difference our projects have made to hundreds of thousands of children.

As an ethical business, Twinings takes its corporate social responsibility seriously.

As well as being part of the Ethical Tea Partnership, we have been working with  Save the Children for many years, helping to improve the lives of children in the rural tea-growing communities of China. Here are some of our biggest achievements so far:

•    Training teachers in Yunnan
With our support, Save the Children has trained over 10,000 teachers in Yunnan, South West China. This has given over 300,000 school children the chance to learn in more exciting ways, and has helped improve enrolment and attendance rates.

•    Caring for disabled children
In Anhui, Eastern China, we've supported projects to improve the care of 1,800 disabled children, including training 1,091 teachers and 200 parents in the best ways to care for and communicate with disabled children.

•    Educating children about HIV/AIDS
With our help, Save the Children has taught 250,000 children and teenagers in Yunnan about HIV/AIDS. In Long Chuan County, Save the Children has set up activity and support centres for children and parents affected by HIV/AIDS.

•    The future
So far, we've helped over half a million children and we're not finished yet. We are continuing to work with Save the Children on new projects that will improve health and nutrition education for children in Yunnan and Shanghai.
