Founded in Shanghai in 2008 by a native Chinese and three expatriates, Baobei Foundation provides surgeries and post-surgical rehabilitation for Chinese orphans with life-threatening birth defects. The name Baobei, which means "precious" or "precious child" in Chinese, reflects our belief that each child is precious and each child has a unique contribution to make to this world. Baobei has provided over 200 surgeries for over 100 orphans who were near death, but are now healthy and living with permanent families.

• We seek to save lives of orphans and provide them with love, care and advocacy so they can grow, flourish and find permanent adoption families

• We seek to model and inspire charitable giving by operating with integrity, respect for others, and support for the laws and systems of the country in which we operate.
