Construct a new pattern of "one old and one young" health and public welfare
"One old and one young" affects thousands of families and is related to people's livelihood and well-being. The elderly and children are the most permanent residents of the community, and "one old and one young" is the main concern of most families. Serving and guaranteeing "one old and one young" is an important foundation for actively responding to the aging of the population and promoting the long-term balanced development of the population, which is related to the long-term peace and stability of the country, the interests of thousands of households, and the people's living and working in peace and contentment.
Over the years, Yili has paid attention to the health of children in all aspects, from nutrition to safety, from body to mind, and has successively carried out public welfare projects such as "Yili Ark", "Yili Nutrition 2030" and "Yili Children's Dream Tongyu", escorting the growth of children in terms of safety education, nutrition support, astronomical science popularization, etc. Today's kick-off meeting officially marks the comprehensive launch of Yili's public welfare care for "one old and one young", builds a new pattern of "one old and one young" health public welfare, and enriches and enriches Yili's social welfare practice.
Yili knows that public welfare is not something that can be accomplished by one person or an enterprise, but a cause that requires everyone to participate together. Yili hopes that all walks of life will participate in caring for the elderly and provide them with more care and support. I hope that everyone will join hands to pass on the love to every elderly person, and interpret the beautiful vision of "providing for the elderly, providing medical care for the elderly, and having fun for the elderly" with practical actions, so as to create value and share beauty.
