On March 26, 2008, the launching ceremony of the "Raindrop Program Zhongtai Huawei Action" was held in the Great Hall of the People. The "Raindrop Program China-Taiwan Huawei Action" is organized by the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council and undertaken by China-Taiwan Huawei International Investment Co. As the initiator, China-Taiwan Huawei International Investment Co., Ltd. has committed to donate RMB 510 million over the next five years to provide vocational skills training for laborers in poverty-stricken areas by using the training system of the Raindrop Program of the State Council's Poverty Alleviation Office. 60 million yuan was arranged for 2008 to recruit about 30,000 rural migrant workers in six provinces, namely, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Shaanxi, and subsidize RMB 2,000 yuan each for each of them to participate in the skills training. The cost is subsidized at 2,000 yuan per migrant worker to participate in skills training. As one of the key tasks of China's rural poverty alleviation and development, the "Raindrop Program" has transferred more than 3 million trained laborers from poor areas to work, and driven more than 10 million poor people out of poverty.
In addition to the charitable programs in cooperation with the government, Mr. Li Qingyou also plans to set up the China Zhongtai Huawei Poverty Alleviation Foundation, which will use the proceeds from foreign investment projects and domestic investment projects in oil and coal, as well as the donations from foreign friends, for the cause of poverty alleviation and development in China, in order to repay the motherland's blessing of nurturing. Among them, charitable donations to medical care are the focus of Mr. Li Qingyou's donation support.
