By the end of 1998, the money contributed to the Project already came to RMB$2.2 billion and a total number of 750,000 million girl dropouts went back to school.
In 1996, Spring Bud Practical Skill Training Fund was set up to give girls vocational education. Besides studying regular textbooks, they were taught to master one or two practical skills. The skills are very helpful in lifting them out of poverty and putting them on their own foot.
