Over the past five years, the program has benefited more than 600 families in the Miao minority villages, with local villagers' incomes increasing between 3,000 - 5,000 yuan (around $450 - 750), annually. The 2016 China Miao Embroidery Charity Exhibition is one of the most important events in the program's calendar, and was first exhibited in Paris and France in 2014.
