Walk to Guangzhou (simplified Chinese: 行路上广州; traditional Chinese: 行路上廣州) is a fundraising campaign held each year for funding education for orphans and poor children in isolated areas of mainland China.
Sowers Action [zh], a non-profit organisation founded in 1992, and the Guangdong branch of the China Youth Development Foundation started the annual Walk to Guangzhou fundraising campaign in 1993 through Project Hope.
[3] The event raises money to fund education for orphans and poor children in isolated areas of mainland China.
[1][2] According to China National Radio, the aim of the 30 km (18.64 mi) daily walk is to have the volunteers experience how determined the children who live in poverty-stricken mountains must be to attend school to learn.
[6] Since 2006 the Chinese government has gradually expanded the waiving of school-related fees in China's rural areas.
