CTOnews.com, Oct. 17, CTOnews.com learned from Apple's website that Apple announced today that it will further increase its support for farmers, empowered students and revitalize the community by working with the China Rural Development Foundation.

Apple will donate 25 million yuan to the China Rural Development Foundation, based on the cooperation between Apple and the China Rural Development Foundation over the past decade in supporting local communities in China. The additional donation will be used to help farmers learn new skills to develop their business and to provide technical and digital educational resources to empower students and teachers in rural areas.

"at Apple, we think it is very important to give back to Apple's communities around the world and in China, and we always explore how to maximize the positive impact on the local community." "We are committed to supporting educational programs across China and providing technical support to farmers and students, because education can change the lives of many people, create opportunities, empower communities and support the development of the next generation," Apple CEO Tim Cook said.

Apple's support for the China Rural Development Foundation began with disaster relief and reconstruction after the Lushan / Ya'an earthquake in 2013. Since then, the two sides have jointly established the Benevolent Commune to support agricultural development, the "Zhihui classroom" to introduce iPad into rural schools, and the Sichuan Mengdingshan Cooperative Development training Institute, which has cumulatively provided advanced skills courses including e-commerce and quality control to more than 2400 directors of rural cooperatives.

The projects are part of Apple's broader commitment to support communities across China and consolidate its 30-year connection with the local people. Last year, Apple also set up the Apple Zhihui Education Center for supply chain employees at Zhejiang University, which has a leading learning laboratory where supplier employees have access to cutting-edge mechanical manufacturing and programming. And health and health courses.

As part of Apple's commitment to the environment and community in China, Apple has partnered with the World wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to improve the management of more than 400000 hectares of productive forest in China. At the same time, through Apple's Chinese supplier Clean Energy Fund, the industry's first investment fund, Apple and its suppliers invest in clean energy and put related projects into use. At present, more than 80 suppliers in China have pledged to use 100% renewable energy to produce Apple products.
