On September 27, 2007, an official inauguration was held at the SKF Hope School at Sikong Mountain, Yuexi County, in the Anhui Province in China. The school building consists of six classrooms and one teachers’ room. It will be able to accommodate 200 students.

The SKF Hope School project was initiated in October 2006 and is one of the means by which SKF supports education. In China, many children living in remote villages do not have convenient access to schooling basics, due to the lack of schools, teachers and learning facilities. Sikong Mountain is located far from cities and with only primitive facilities, which makes SKF’s support critical to the school.
