Building Projects
A major achievement of the Fund during the past 20 years was to finance school building projects. Each building project was carefully screened, and closely monitored to ensure that the project would be completed according to the building contract. Donors were informed periodically of the construction progress and invited to attend the Opening Ceremony.

The total donation involved was RMB156 million. Building items included teaching blocks, multi-purpose complex, dormitories, canteens, playground, and the installation of new teaching facilities.
