The 2026 edition of the Spring Bud Girls' Healthy Growth project opened a study camp in Xiamen, a coastal city of southeast China's Fujian Province, on July 6.
Co-hosted by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF) and Anta Sports Products Ltd, the five-day camp event brought together 20 girl college students from Sichuan University, Xinjiang University, Qinghai University and China Women's University.
The study camp featured a rich lineup of interactive and immersive activities, which covered career immersion workshops, cultural exploration and visits to revolutionary education sites. The hands-on experiences helped students further expand personal horizon, sharpen their skills and ignite individual aspirations.
Secretary-General of the CCTF Li Zhongming and Vice-President of Anta Sports Li Ling attended and addressed the opening ceremony.
Li Zhongming noted that over the past two years, the project has supported girl college students in difficulties through financial aids, sports empowerment and study tours.
He encouraged the students to cherish the opportunity, help each other, make new friends, and gain fresh growth momentum from the study tour in Xiamen and Jinjiang, making it a memorable experience for them.
Li Ling conveyed sincere wishes to the girls. She emphasized that the initiative has represented a key extension of Anta's commitment to sports education — and more importantly, a solemn pledge to advance women's development and educational equity.
She said that the company will further deepen its collaboration with the CCTF in the implementation of the project and adopt more diverse forms to promote the healthy and comprehensive development of more Spring Bud girls.
The girls said that they will grasp the valuable study opportunity, engage themselves wholeheartedly into relevant activities, and embrace new knowledge with an open mind.
Since its launch in October 2024 by CCTF and Anta Sports, the Spring Bud Girls' Healthy Growth project has provided financial aids to 600 girl students of 13 universities and 322 girl high school students in 15 provincial regions. Meanwhile, it has also delivered material support to over 30,000 Spring Bud girls.
