China House ä¸å—屋
China House is a social enterprise that serves as a platform to send young people from China to Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia for short-term research, volunteer work in community based organizations, and responsible tourism. We also provide research services for NGOs, development organizations, and think tanks on topics related to overseas Chinese business practices and sustainable development. Our mission is twofold: to integrate Chinese citizens into the developing world through youth engagement, and to serve as a bridge between overseas Chinese communities and non-Chinese organizations and communities.
As of 2018, we have sent several hundred young people from China to Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia for research, volunteer work with community development projects, and responsible tourism.
Since 2015, we have worked with local and international NGOs to engage Chinese communities in Africa on wildlife conservation, setting a precedent for China-Africa wildlife conservation cooperation.
We have provided research services for the organizations International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Oxfam, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), John Hopkins University, and others. Our team has conducted research in ten African countries across the sectors of mining, forestry, energy, oil, infrastructure, and agriculture, all in the context of Chinese overseas business practices.
Over the past four years, we have built a strong network of Chinese companies and embassies throughout the African continent and continue to grow our network in Latin America and Southeast Asia.
