CHINA-JIANGXI-XIUSHUI-POVERTY ALLEVIATION (CN)

Resettled villager Leng Fenman (L) and his wife prepare dinner in their new home at a poverty-alleviation resettlement community in Huanglong Township of Xiushui County, east China's Jiangxi Province, May 19, 2020. The family moved here in 2017. During China's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) period, the local government in Xiushui has built 141 resettlement communities for more than 10,000 impoverished rural residents, who used to struggle with life in the county's mountainous areas. The resettled rural residents now have access to better hospitals, schools and job opportunities. Many resettled residents are re-employed in new poverty-alleviation businesses such as tea plantations, silk factories and fruit orchards. All 121 such businesses, established with a poverty-relief fund worth 446 million yuan (about 63 million U.S. dollars), have helped 10,370 resettlement community inhabitants shake off poverty.
