Support MBL—'The Mothers' Bridge of Love' for Chinese Children
Since the publication of
The Good Women of China
and the books which followed,
Xinran has received numerous letters from women all over the world. As a result, she
decided to create a charity – The Mothers' Bridge of Love (MBL) registration number
1105543 – to help these women, their children, as well as the many children living in
destitute conditions in China.
More than 120,000 Western families have adopted Chinese orphans, mainly girls,
since 1993. As they grow up, this is one of the first questions those children might
ask: "Why didn't my Chinese mummy want me?"
With over 50% per cent of the Chinese people living in poverty, millions of children
all around the country can only dream of a decent education: "How can I ever go to
school?"
Meanwhile, millions of overseas Chinese children hardly understand their roots: "What
is Chinese culture?"
If these questions pull at your heartstrings, please support MBL by sending a donation.
