Half the Sky tremendously values the contributions of its partners, from major corporations to small businesses.
If
your company is doing business in China and/or has an interest in supporting programs that are radically improving educational, physical, social and emotional outcomes for the children that remain in Chinese welfare institutions— we would like to talk to you!
Half the Sky works in partnership with the Chinese government in all of its programs. If, like HTS, you believe that an investment in China's orphaned children is an investment in the future and can only benefit us all, we invite you to become one of Half the Sky's key partners. Please contact us.
