Wokai is a 501c3 non-profit organization that enables Chinese people
to lift themselves from poverty. Wokai is Chinese for "I start,"
demonstrating our commitment to helping the impoverished help
themselves. Through our website, we connect contributors worldwide
with entrepreneurs in rural China to help them start small
businesses. We are based in Oakland, California, with core operations
in Beijing. We also have active Chapters in San Francisco, Seattle and
New York, Beijingwith more than 80 active representatives. We rely on
fundraising events, grants, corporate sponsorships and individual
donors for funding. We will eventually cover our costs associated with
Field Partner evaluation, monitoring and training, website
development, and public outreach, through the optional 10% donation
that contributors can add when funding an entrepreneur's loan. Funds
from Yogathon 2009 are given to our field partner ARDY in Sichuan."
