A news report from iChongqing:

"Chongqing is our first choice for hosting the country's first regional public

public welfare undertakings, and the projects launched this time will boost the 
rural revitalization of Chongqing."

Ranking among the top ten in China

In recent years, Chongqing's widespread enthusiasm for public welfare has been 
evident to all. According to the big data of the Tencent public welfare 
platform, Chongqing has remained in the top ten in the country for five 
consecutive years in terms of the number of donations and donors.

According to a press conference on April 21, the 2022 "Rural Revitalization •

Tencent Foundation will provide 50 million yuan (approx. 7.62 million U.S. 
dollars) of donations to all ongoing public welfare projects in the activity.

Up to now, 94 charities, social organizations, and voluntary service 
organizations in the city have planned nearly 300 projects in seven areas, 
including assistance in industry, education, and talent, as well as ecological 
revitalization, said Xu Haibo, member of the party group and deputy director of

Technology improves people's livelihood

This activity is the country's first regional special activity for rural 
revitalization supported by Tencent Foundation. It is a public welfare activity 
specially designed for Chongqing and mainly targeted at Chongqing's rural 
revitalization projects.

This activity will play a crucial part in Chongqing's comprehensive 
implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the rural revitalization 
of industry, talent, culture, ecological protection, and organizations, as well 
as the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

Meanwhile, the activity has opened an online fundraising channel. From April 27 
to 29, people can make donations to their favorite public welfare projects 
through the WeChat mini program "Tencent Charity".

Starting from 10 a.m. every day during the activity, each donation of one yuan 
or more to the public welfare project will have the opportunity to receive a 
random amount of the corresponding donation from Tencent Foundation. It means 
that for each donation of not less than one yuan, the Tencent Foundation will 
make a random donation.
