CNYTrust begins construction of school in Da Miao village in Hebei province

In 2004, The Chinese New Year Trust (“the Trust”) donated RMB 200,000 towards the building of a primary school (“the School”) in Donggou village of Damiao town, located in Shuanglan district, Chengde, Hebei province.
The transfer of funds to the local village of Donggou, was facilitated by The China Youth Development Foundation (“CYDF”) at an administrative cost of 10% of the donation.
The remaining funding required to build the School was provided in part by savings from the local school authority and also by a further donation from the local government (“The government”). The total cost of the project is budgeted at RMB 720,000. Ongoing funding for the maintenance of the school will be sourced from the local government.
The school building will have a total construction area of 1022.3 m 2 spread over 2 floors. The projected total cost is RMB 720, 000. The school will be named “Chengde Damiao CNYTrust Hope Primary School”. A summary of the construction schedule is outlined below.
