Chinese People’s Armed Police donated RMB2 million to help improve education development in impoverished ethnic group areas and poverty-stricken areas in Gansu Province, Northwest China, on Nov 22, at an activity held in a primary school in Jiuquan City’s Guazhou County.

The activity is part of efforts that Chinese People’s Armed Police and China Children and Teenagers’ Fund (CCTF) have made to alleviate poverty. The armed police teams up with the CCTF’s Spring Bud Project, a charity program mobilizing social forces to help dropout girls return to school and to improve teaching conditions in poverty-stricken areas.
