Soong Ching-ling at China Welfare Institute (1940s)
TheChina Welfare Institute (CWI; 中国福利会) was founded bySoong Ching Ling, the wife ofSun Yat-sen, inHong Kong on June 14, 1938. It is one of the oldest and most influential NGOs nationwide in China.
The institute was originally known as the China Defense League; after WWII, it was renamed as the China Welfare Fund and in 1950, it took its present name of the China Welfare Institute.[1]
The institute worked on improving conditions for women and children. As part of this, the CWI ran two publishing houses, the Children's Epoch Magazine House and CWI Publishing House; the two merged in 2007 to form the China Welfare Institute Publishing House Company.[2] In 2008, the CWI also set up the Soon Ching Ling School which had almost 1,000 students in 2024.[3]
