Bike-sharing startup Beijing Mobike Technology Co Ltd recently announced a strategic partnership with the Smile Angel Foundation, and is set to donate 3.65 million yuan ($529,615) to the charity organization.

With its support 365 children from poverty-stricken families who suffer from cleft palates will undergo free surgery.

Li Yapeng, founder of the Smile Angel Foundation, said the strategic partnership would aim to link the bike-sharing operation with charity and encourage members of the general public to become involved in welfare work.
