[:en]Founded in 2009 by Helen Boyle, MCF is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious organization.
It is staffed by a dedicated team of long-term volunteers who organise and manage MCF events and programs, and maintain relationships with under resourced schools and parents.
The foundation achieves its aims principally through providing its main resource: theVolunteers. It recruits from a wide range of local and international sources, from individuals such as English teachers and university volunteers to major organisations, such as international schools, hotels, hospitals, embassies and academic institutions such as the Royal Society of Chemistry.
MCF relies on the generosity of all these individuals and organizations to fulfill its mission. MCF provides extra-curricular teaching in subjects that these children do not have access to. Other than being given English lessons from English speakers, the subjects taught range from Science, Photography, Drama, Music and Horticulture (to name but a few). It is worth noting that these lessons are given to the highest standard, so much so that the children being taught Chemistry in one of the schools won a national competition. It goes without saying that without these resources, both professional and practical, none of this would have been possible, and all of this has been provided by a dedicated body of people who are committed to ‘making a lasting difference’.
Of course, there are numerous stories that can be told about how these disadvantaged children have had their experiences broadened by MCF programs and the generosity of our sponsors. MCF also believes that the children’s education is closely connected with their well being. Taking a holistic approach, we consider all the barriers that these children face. We recognize that they need to be able to see clearly in order to read, to be healthy in order to learn and to experience a variety of activities in order to widen their horizons and to reach their full potential. To this end, seven years ago MCF introduced health checkups and eye tests for the children in the migrant schools that we supported. To date, over 5000 children have received a full checkup and over 400 children have received glasses to assist their vision.

ＭＣＦ：这是一个平台，汇聚全世界的努力，给中国的民工子弟的生活带来改变。最重要的问题不是有多少人愿意伸出援手而是让人们了解他们怎么才能帮助那些最需要帮助的人。没有志愿者和合作伙伴的帮助，我们什么也做不了，所有我们热切欢迎那些以任何方式愿意尽一份力的人们。
我们的使命
ＭＣＦ是一个非盈利性组织，致力于为中国北京的弱势儿童提供更多的教育机会。MCF为这些资源匮乏的学校派送志愿者教学，同时也使这些年轻的志愿者在教孩子们技巧和课堂知识的同时能够感受中国鲜活的文化。重点不仅局限于教学，还包括：分享生活经历，奉献时间，学习新技巧，感受文化互动。MCF的总体目标是：让我们的志愿者能够教学相长，有付出也有回报。让他们融入这些社区生活一段时间，当这些志愿者离开中国时，能够更好的理解和尊重中国人民和中国文化。[:]
