L'Oreal Group, together with the China Youth Development Foundation, launched a beauty training course named "Beauty for a Better Life" in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province. The program, which started in early March, provides free courses for young disadvantaged people, including the unemployed, illiterate and poor. The first 60 students are from poor families in Sichuan. They will be trained in knowledge and skills in cosmetics, hairdressing and skincare. The program aims to help 200 people in 2014.
