Chinese New Year 2025: Welcoming the Year of the Snake
Renewal, Wisdom, and Adaptability in Action
As we celebrate the arrival of Chinese New Year, 2025 brings us the Year of the Snake—a symbol of adaptability, renewal, and wisdom. The Year of the Snake reminds us to embrace change, nurture growth, and seek wisdom in our endeavors. These values align with our commitment to supporting vulnerable communities through innovative programs tailored to their needs. This Chinese New Year, consider making a contribution to our newest signature initiative: the Rural Healthy Family Program.
Renewing Hope Through Health
The newly launched Rural Healthy Family Program focuses on improving health in rural China by addressing the widespread prevalence of hypertension, which affects 1 in 4 adults. Despite the high rates of this condition, control rates are alarmingly low—just 10.6% in rural areas compared to 17.4% in urban centers. Through a family-centered health management model, education, and community-based interventions, this program embodies the spirit of adaptability and renewal by offering at-risk families the resources they need to thrive.
Building on the successes of our Rural Doctors TCM Training Program, this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to improving health outcomes in rural China. By training local doctors in traditional and modern practices, we have already laid the foundation for stronger healthcare systems in underserved regions. The Rural Healthy Family Program expands on these efforts by directly addressing chronic conditions like hypertension. Since the launch of the first pilot in April 2024 serving 2,000 families across 40 villages, the number of residents with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 22% and 15%, respectively.
The Year of the Snake’s emphasis on wisdom speaks to the importance of informed action. Give2Asia leverages decades of experience, data-driven insights, and expertise from local partners such as the American College of Cardiology (ACC) to design impactful programs. With ACC’s resources and support, we are equipping rural communities with the best tools to address hypertension, fostering healthier families and more resilient communities.
A New Year, A Renewed Purpose
As we welcome the Year of the Snake, we invite you to reflect on how adaptability, renewal, and wisdom can guide your journey in the coming year. Consider joining us in making a difference to create healthier and stronger communities across China.
