In support of China's Western Development Strategy, Bank of China donated RMB 1 million in December 2005 to the "Love of the Earth, Water Cellars for Mothers" project launched by China Women's Development Foundation, for relief of living hardship suffered by both mothers and children for serious water shortage, increase of farmers' income in the poverty-stricken areas and improvement of the living and ecological environment in rural areas.
The Fifth Anniversary Award Presentation Ceremony for "Moving Mothers - Love of the Earth, Water Cellars for Mothers" was jointly held by the All-China Women's Federation and China Women's Development Foundation in June 2006. Bank of China won the Outstanding Contribution Award for "Love of the Earth, Water Cellars for Mothers", and Li Lihui, President of the bank, was honored with the title of Star of Charity for the same project.
Recently, the Follow-up Action Organization Committee of the project sent the bank the letter (as attached) to extend warm greetings to President Li Lihui and the bank staff and highly praise the bank's great contributions with sincere appreciation.
