The Achievement of Hope Project 

By the end of 2004, Project Hope has

• raised over 5.6 billion Renminbi in funds.
• financed education of more than 3,400,000 poor rural students
• built 15940 "Hope Primary Schools" (希望小学), which consists of 2.5% of all the rural primary schools.
• established "Project Hope Scholarship"(希望之星奖学金), providing financial assistance to about 130,000 secondary and tertiary students.
• funded over 14,000 primary schools in rural areas to build libraries
• built over 150 distance learning centers to help students living in remote areas.

Some 80 percent of the Hope Project primary schools and students aided by the project are located in China's middle and western regions, which are less developed. (Liu, 2004)
