Partner Schools
Spring Blossom Scholarship, Gansu Province
We are partnered with the Changing Young Lives Foundation to support girls' education in Dashu and Liushu districts, through the Spring Blossom scholarship. Currently, it is common for girls, especially those of Dongxiang ethnic minority, to drop out of schooling as early as 10 years old to help with housework before marrying early. The goal of the Spring Blossom scholarship is to encourage Dongxiang families to let their daughters go to school until junior secondary school by subsidizing girls' education. In 2017-18, the Changing Young Lives Foundation provided 90 Dongxiang girls with subsidies to support their schooling, and in 2018=19, we hope to help expand the scheme to support 140 girls.

Heyan Primary School (河沿小學)
Project Hope has supported children from the Heyan Primary School (河沿小學) which is located in rural Qinghai province.
Heyan Primary School consists of 5 teachers and 101 students who's ages range from 5 to 9 years old. During our partnership with this primary school, our focus was on providing school and medical supplies to these students as well as teaching and training materials for the teachers.
Project Hope was also involved with sponsoring children from an elementary school in remote Wanhe, an impoverished rural village in a mountainous region of Gansu province.
We collaborated with a Gansu official, Mrs. Jiaping Wang, who provided us with a list of the children who are deemed in-need. These children come from households with single parents, sick parents, parents who have lost their jobs, or even their lives. While the Chinese government guarantees that education will be freely provided to these children, they still must buy their own books and supplies for school, which is an extreme burden on their families given their distressful financial situations.
Here is where Project Hope at Cornell makes a real difference. As stated in our constitution: Every penny donated to us goes towards funding the education of these children, with no overhead. Mrs. Wang identified 46 children in-need, and at the time, we committed to sponsoring 26 of them with our available funds.
