Tracking donations

The Red Cross Society of China and its branches have donated a total of 2.6 billion yuan ($422.9 million) to help 94 rebuilding projects in the Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture after the earthquake in 2010.

To promote financial transparency and allow donors to track their donations, the Red Cross Society of Qinghai created a link on its website to access a data system recording about 96,000 donations to date.

Each entry shows the amount of the donation and where it came from. It also includes the project being covered by the funds as well as its completion date.
