Who We Are

Harvard China Care is a student-run organization at Harvard College that brings together a team of dedicated undergraduates determined to help build brighter futures for abandoned, orphaned, and special-needs children in China.

Since the fall of 2003, HCC has sent over 90 volunteers to China’s orphanages, raised over $250,000 to fund surgeries, cover operational costs of children's homes, and build a school for visually impaired orphans. Back on campus, we have grown from a handful of students hovered around a breakfast table to a large organization that has overseen more than 70 Dumplings playgroups and successfully fostered over 70 mentor-mentee relationships.

Harvard China Care, begun in 2003 by Gary Cooney '05, is the first college club of China Care Foundation. China Care Foundation is a national non-profit organization founded by Matt Dalio '05 in 2000.
