Project Hope

Project Hope (希望工程; Xiwang gongcheng) is a Chinese public service project organized by the China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF) and the Communist Youth League (CYL) Central Committee.[1] Started in 1989, it aims to bring schools into poverty-stricken rural areas of China, to help children whose families are too poor to afford complete elementary school education.[2]: 19  Through Project Hope, the CYDF has also sought to improve educational facilities and improve teaching quality in poorer regions.
