Of 206 foundations registered at the ministry, 97 foundations sponsored or engaged in 547 poverty relief projects, covering education, healthcare, industrial development, infrastructure and emergency assistance, said the ministry statement.

About 666 million yuan went to healthcare services and 129 million yuan to those suffering immediate losses in emergencies and natural disasters.
