Mission Statement

Northwestern China Care is interested in supporting and saving the lives of abandoned Chinese orphans. We are a philanthropic group on campus which fundraises to sponsor adoptions and surgeries for orphans in China. Within the Chicago area, we aim to create and foster a stronger community with the adopted children and with China Care families by holding playgroups and a mentorship program for adopted orphans. The money we raise goes to support individual children, children with names and faces. Northwestern students have a chance to impact singular lives, one by one, whether that be by raising money, playing with kids at playgroups, or being a mentor to an adopted Chinese child.

Though a student club in college seems trivial and minor with respect to the vastness of the orphan problem in China, the China orphans and adopted families gladly accept every small deed that is offered. Thus every donation, no matter how small or large, and every hour dedicated to supporting this cause can change lives.

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in helping as little or as much as they are interested in doing. If you are a family in the Chicago area with an adopted child from China and would like to join this friendly community, we can help you. Contact Us!
