Mission and Vision
Since its foundation, Bloom has been exploring ways to create a mutually beneficial model between our volunteers and our beneficiaries. The ultimate goal of the Fund is to improve the overall quality of education in society, to improve the lives of all people within our society, and to help all young people to grow up with the opportunities and resources they need. The Fund aims to be a bridge and platform to share educational resources to areas of scarcity, to design and discover meaningful public welfare projects for under-resourced students, so that more young people with ideals and dreams can work hard to achieve their full potential. At the same time, we aim to let our caring volunteers to understand that non-monetary assistance can create a different effect to donations.
As a platform for quality education, the Fund has gathered a group of highly respected experts and industry leaders with many years of industry to serve as its directors and mentors. In addition, we also have mentors from leading universities around the world to provide more relatable advice to our supported students. The Fund provides opportunities for the public to participate in all kinds of charitable programs supporting the holistic education of young people around the world, and is especially committed to providing support to outstanding young people in under-resourced areas. These programs include scholarships, online tutoring, and cultural exchanges. Bloom aims to make the world a more caring place, letting volunteers and donors not only give help, but also gain achievements and growth themselves.
Based on these values, the Foundation promotes honesty, sharing, respect, help, appreciation and continuous growth. Therefore, we encourage young people to:
Cultivate and practice independent thinking skills
Find methods of learning that are in line with their own characteristics
Understand and respect individual and cultural differences
Face and meet challenges with an open, positive and active attitude
