Shen Qingyun, through certain provincial leaders he came to know during his stint at the Provincial Party School, managed to secure a portion of funding from the National Poverty Alleviation Office, as well as separate portions from the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office and the Water Resources Department. The County Finance Bureau, after coordination by Secretary Chen of the County Party Committee, also agreed to provide a certain amount of support. The remaining portion would need to be self-raised by the Wenquan Town.
