Education for all

About 2,903km away from PUMA China in Shanghai sits Yunnan Lancang, home to the Nanling Central Primary School. PUMA’s management team and employees have actively volunteered at the school for four years in support of the national strategy to revitalise rural areas. Bringing care and strength to the rural children, PUMA’s community engagement and educational support is truly inspiring.

In the past four years, PUMA China has donated more than RMB 8 million worth of materials – such as student clothing, school supplies, toys and teacher apparel and shoes – to Nanling Primary School. This year, PUMA China also donated a full set of shoes and clothes to all the teachers to appreciate and recognise their hard work. The team also donated school uniforms for 1,800 students and 971 pairs of sneakers. At the same time, PUMA China also brought a full set of basketball equipment to the school basketball team.

In order to learn more about the children and the challenges they face, PUMA China staff conducted home visits. They visited ten groups of families and four rural primary schools under Nanling Primary School.

As for games, the team brought the limited-edition PUMA x MONOPOLY board game for the children to play with.
