Parenting and play centers evergreen (eef) is funding the establishment of two community-based parenting and play centers to support additional development of the humana people to the people's rural-based community early learning, responsive care, and pre-school education work. The two parenting and play centers in two villages in teng chong city, yunnan province, china will focus upon childhood development programs for the youngest rural children, ages 0-3 years, where the most crucial brain development occurs ("give me a child" economist, october 29, 2016).

Supported funding for stem challenge and future city projects in china in collaboration with one of evergreen's main partners, the li geng sheng project of peking university, the evergreen education foundation provides opportunities for students in remote rural areas of china to participate in stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) projects by hosting an annual stem challenge. The challenge features engaging in stem activities and creating a platform for the application of knowledge in stem. This initiative aims to ignite the students' passion for stem disciplines, nurture their creativity, learn problem-solving skills, and facilitate their holistic development. Evergreen began supporting rural teachers and students in china to participate in the future city competition this year. Future city is a globally recognized project-based learning stem competition for elementary and middle school students. In this competition, students work in teams to design a city that is 100 years into the future using a project-based learning approach. The design process and outcomes are presented through project journals, city papers, physical models, and presentations. In february 2024, evergreen introduced future city to our member schools; from march to april, we actively provided interested schools and teachers with project guidance and training, connecting them with professional engineering mentors.
