A Book Can Open a New World.

Since 2007, the YTT Candlelight Initiative has helped bring books and reading spaces to children in rural schools across China.

Every Child Deserves the Chance to Discover More.
We believe access to knowledge can change how a child sees the world — and what they believe is possible for their future.

That belief is at the heart of the YTT Candlelight Initiative.

2007

The journey began

733+

YTT Libraries

1,100+

Schools Reached

6

Provinces

Behind every number is a school, a library, and a child discovering something new.

Knowledge Can Change a Child’s Future — but It Takes All of Us.

Books give children the chance to discover worlds beyond their own, develop curiosity, and imagine what might be possible.

That’s why the YTT Candlelight Initiative brings together entrepreneurs, educators, schools, and communities to make reading more accessible to children in rural China.

Together, we can keep knowledge moving forward — one book, one library, and one child at a time.
