At its twenty year anniversary in 2009, it had already raised 5.67 billion RMB in donations, aiding 3.46 million students and had built 15,940 primary schools across the country. Project Hope is now one of the top charities in the world.
There can be few examples in all recorded history of a national transformation wrought on such a scale and in such a short space of time as those that occurred in China over the second half of the twentieth century.
