Scienjoy has been actively fulfilling its social responsibilities and giving back to the community through public welfare practices. Scienjoy does not only provide continual healthy and positive content, but also participates in helping the disabled. In 2016, Scienjoy cooperated with the Beijing Disabled Welfare Foundation to set up a special fund named “Scienjoy - Listen to the Voice of the World”. Currently, it has helped dozens of low-income families with hearing-impaired children receive rehabilitation, care, and training. The fund also supports disabled people to get employment, living cost, and education in Beijing.
