One social issue society in China has been facing is providing a good education to the children of migrant workers. Migrant workers leave their rural homes to go to bigger cities to earn a living. Most of the times, they find low-income opportunities which make it hard to afford expensive tuition for their children. To com- bat this ongoing issue, tesa Plant Suzhou offered scholarships to students in need through their “Sunshine Education Assistance” project. Since 2008, the company has been partnering with a school in Suzhou whose student body is mainly the children of migrant workers and have provided long-term assistance to the children. For 2020, tesa’s target was to empower more than 1,000 young people through customized STEM (Science. Technology. Engineering. Mathematics) classes which were offered to local school students. The company plans to promote this project to raise more attention in their community and get more financial and hands-on support.
