On June 17, 2019, a 6.0-magnitude
earthquake struck Ning County,Yibin ,
Sichuan Province. The earthquake killed 13 people and injured 226. The
Humanitarian Relief Network of the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation
launched an emergency response immediately , delivering relief material to the
affected areas of Yibin. On the third day after the earthquake, China World
promptly offered to assist China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in the
post-disaster reconstruction.

Shiyi Primary School (now "China International Trade Primary School") is affiliated with Tong Di Town School, Changning County, which is more than 40 kilometers away from Changning County. The school was founded in 1983, with an area of 1700 square meters, 13 teachers. Before the disaster there were about 300 students, of which 158 were left-behind children,7 primary school classes, and 2 kindergarten classes.
The previous school site
Most of the houses in Changning County
after the 6.17 earthquake disaster have become unsafe building.School
facilities are not up to the current requirements of school operation, but also
because of the hillside and slope that add greater inconvenience to school
expansion, so the local government decides to relocate the school. After field
research, the China World decided to donate 8 million yuan to ,Ning County,
Yibin through China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation for post-earthquake
reconstruction of Shiyan Primary School, which was renamed "China
International Trade Primary School".
The new school site
Wang Jun, deputy secretary-general of the
China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, said in his speech that the China
World's efforts to help build the "China International Trade Primary
School" in Changning County not only provide a more comfortable learning
and living environment for children in the earthquake-stricken areas, but also
show a new concept of corporate philanthropy, fully reflecting the high sense
of social responsibility of care for children in the disaster areas. At the
same time, I am very grateful to the China World for their trust and support, and
I hope to see the children’s faces be filled with smiles.
