China Nonferrous Mining Hong Kong Holdings Limited (CNMHK), a holding subsidiary of China Nonferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. (CNMC), recently received a letter of thanks from the Higher Pedagogical Institute of Lubumbashi (ISP Lubumbashi) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

In the letter, the university expressed sincere thanks to CNMHK for its philanthropic act of providing scholarships for students last year and enclosed a transcript listing the outstanding students who benefited from the scholarships.

The letter underscores the company's longstanding commitment to social responsibility and serves as a testament to the profound impact of CNMHK's educational support and the deepening friendship and educational cooperation between China and the DRC.

Driven by the belief that love plants the seeds of hope, and education lights the path to the future, CNMHK and ISP Lubumbashi held a grand signing ceremony to mark the start of a university-enterprise cooperation initiative in June 2024.

As part of the collaboration, CNMHK donated $45,000 in scholarships covering tuition, books, internship costs, and other expenses for outstanding students of the university.

One year on, the scholarship recipients have repaid this kindness with academic excellence—many have received university-level commendations, and some students have ranked among the top of their classes.

The university noted that the students' academic achievements are not only proof of their own diligence, but also a vivid reflection of CNMHK's concrete actions to fulfill its social responsibilities.

The company's philanthropic act inspires students to repay society with extraordinary performance, according to the university.

While pursuing successful overseas operations, CNMHK has devoted significant effort to fulfilling social responsibilities and strengthening people-to-people bonds.

As a steadfast practitioner of win-win cooperation between China and the DRC, CNMHK has always aligned its development strategies with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and attached great importance to making contributions to people's livelihoods, environment, and development of local communities, striving to foster mutual support and shared development with local areas where it operates in the DRC.

CNMHK regards support for local education as a core part of its corporate social responsibility. From funding scholarships and donating teaching equipment to assisting in campus construction and talent cultivation, it continues to create development opportunities for local youth through public-benefit programs.

The company's generosity has been deeply appreciated by many students of the university. One outstanding student representative said they will remember how the scholarship program funded by CNMHK lit up their path forward.

"We will always remember that CNMHK lit up our path forward with a scholarship program on a bright and beautiful morning. My fellow students and I will remember this moment and do our utmost to excel in our studies, so as to live up to the trust placed in us by our university and CNMHK. Long live this university-enterprise partnership!" the student said in a speech.

The collaboration between CNMHK and ISP Lubumbashi has attracted widespread attention from local communities and media outlets, consolidating the image of the company as a reliable Chinese enterprise and demonstrating its commitment to working together with local communities for a shared beautiful future. 

The students' excellent academic performance serves as a powerful testament to the impact of the company's social responsibility initiatives, and this letter filled with gratitude represents not only recognition of the fruitful partnership, but also an expression of hope for an even brighter future.

Looking ahead, CNMHK is ready to continue increasing its support for education in the DRC, supporting the growth and success of more young people and injecting positive energy into the green and sustainable development of the country.
