China-Africa Project Hope, which plans to build 1,000 primary schools in Africa, has completed the first 23, Lu Junqing, chairman of the project, announced at a news conference on Tuesday in Nairobi.

Lu said the new hope schools will be built in five African countries, including Zambia and Ethiopia, but he didn't disclose the exact number.

The 23rd hope primary school, which was funded by the Tianjiu Happiness Holding Group of China, was completed on Sept 3 in Omarheke province, Namibia. The other schools are in Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda. The 23 schools help more than 10,000 children receive an education, according to the project.

Also at the conference, it was announced that 19 Chinese entrepreneurs each donated 100,000 yuan ($15,700) to libraries in the 23 schools.

In 2010, the World Eminent Chinese Business Association, the China Youth Development Foundation and the and Tianjiu Happiness Holding Group decided to bring the Project Hope into Africa, and jointly launched "China-Africa Project Hope".

Lu himself donated $16 million, and his daughter Lu Xingyu, who is now the executive chairwoman and secretary general of the project, donated $160,000, which she claimed was all of her savings. She also vowed to devote herself to the project and never go into business or be official in her whole life.

Lu Junqing said that China-Africa Project Hope is an international charity project with no conditions attached. "This is a kind of pure love. We did so in the past, do it now, and will continue to do so forever," he said.

He said he wishes China-Africa Project Hope can bring more happiness to people in Africa and strengthen the friendship between the two countries. "At the same time, through the project, we wish people all over the world can see that the growth of China will not threaten anyone and can bring more happiness to the world."
