Workers process umbrella ribs at a workshop in Dongxiang Autonomous County, northwest China's Gansu Province, April 3, 2019. Since 2018, poverty alleviation workshops have been given priority in accelerating the ongoing poverty relief campaign in Dongxiang Autonomous County, by which poverty-stricken people have earned a steady job to help lift themselves out of poverty. So far, 18 poverty alleviation workshops have been established, creating job opportunities for over 700 locals, including more than 500 registered impoverished people. Per capita income for those working in the workshops stood at 1,500 yuan (about 223 U.S. dollars) to 2,500 yuan a month. The Chinese characters mean "poverty alleviation". (Xinhua/Ma Ning)
