History

The term 'Spring Bud' gained significant recognition as the name of a large-scale educational assistance program in China. Launched in 1989 by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund (CCTF), the 'Project Hope - Spring Bud Program' (or simply 'Spring Bud Program') aimed to help girls from impoverished rural areas return to or stay in school. Before this, 'spring bud' was a general descriptive term in English for new plant growth in spring. The program's name was chosen to symbolize the potential and future of these young girls, much like a bud holds the promise of a flower or fruit.
