In 2017, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), together with Mary Kay China, in collaboration with the
China Women’s Development Foundation (CWDF), the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges (CICETE), the Women’s Federation of Yunnan Province and Yongren County Government (YCG) launched the SDG Pilot Village Project targeting women’s poverty and sustainable development in Waipula, Yunnan Province.
