China Three Gorges helps migrant villagers

By Zheng Xin | China Daily | Updated: 2017-03-09 07:19

China Three Gorges Corporation, the operator of the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity, has donated three million yuan ($435,800) in a seed fund since 2012, helping alleviate poverty in 10 migrant villages in Yibin in Sichuan province.

Cooperating with the Yibin Association of Poverty Alleviation and Development, the 10 villages have generated a profit of 1.39 million yuan in the past few years, through planting and livestock breeding, production and processing, with 66 families being lifted out of poverty.

Construction on the world's largest hydropower project, located near Yichang in Central China's Hubei province, began in 1993 and finished in 2009. More than 1.3 million residents have been relocated to make way for the Three Gorges Project.
