The teaching facilities donated by Shaw Foundation are all over the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of China, which has made valuable contributions to supporting the popularization of nine-year compulsory education and the development of higher education in the Mainland. In line with the grand strategy of the country's western development, the donation of this foundation mainly supports the construction of educational facilities in primary and secondary schools in the western region, which has effectively promoted the development of local education. What's more worth mentioning is that whenever some provinces in the Mainland suffer from natural disasters, Mr. Run Run Run Shaw promptly gives generously to the disaster-stricken areas for the reconstruction of primary and secondary schools in the disaster-stricken areas.

Assistance like a timely rescue will always be remembered by teachers and students in the disaster area. For a long time, the Ministry of Education, the governments of relevant provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the Mainland, the administrative departments of education and universities have attached great importance to the construction of projects donated by Shaw Foundation, and all units have worked together to carefully design and construct each project. Up to now, most of the completed Yifu projects have become local landmark school buildings, ideal teaching and research places for teachers and students, and played a good role.
