Promoting Education Access and Equity

Why We Exist

We believe that every child—regardless of where they’re born or what challenges they face—deserves a fair shot at learning. At YongLin Foundation, we are driven by a powerful truth: when children are given the tools to succeed, they don’t just change their own futures—they change the future of an entire generation. We exist to help unlock that potential, one student at a time.

Strategy

How We Lead

In Taiwan, more than 200,000 students struggle to keep up in school due to environmental, familial, or economic barriers. YongLin Foundation tackles these challenges head-on through a multi-level strategy focused on equity, innovation, and empowerment:

• Bridging Learning Gaps
We deliver professional tutoring to underserved students, helping them catch up, keep up, and thrive in school.

• Empowering Teachers
Through certified training and resource-rich platforms, we equip educators with tools to identify learning challenges early and teach more effectively.

• Sharing for Public Good
We invest in open-access educational materials to ensure that the best resources are available not just to a few—but to all.

• Fostering Community Engagement
We work hand-in-hand with families, schools, and social service organizations to create environments where students feel seen, supported, and capable.

Tailored for students from rural areas, single-parent households, and new resident families, the School of Hope offers tutoring, mentoring, and social-emotional support to help students overcome learning setbacks and rediscover their confidence. It’s not just academic assistance—it’s a lifeline.
