Oct 2025 Financial Update | Village Dividend Report
Share
This month marked another round of village dividends, a continuing effort to keep our cooperative transparent and alive through shared action.
We received a total of 6,642.5 RMB (≈ $909.10 USD) in new volunteer funds. To simplify cash withdrawal and distribution from the bank, we continued with the regular amount of 300 RMB per household, reaching eight households and totaling 2,400 RMB (≈ $328.77 USD).
Of this 2,400 RMB payout, 2,000 RMB came directly from the newly received volunteer funds(sponsored by One River Tea). The remaining 400 RMB was supplemented from previous months’ dividend reserves. A detailed record of this balance adjustment will appear in our upcoming semi-annual financial report, expected in December.
Additionally, 1,270 RMB from the volunteer fund was used this month to support local volunteer expenses. Detailed usage will be included in a separate volunteer financial report to be released soon.

These amounts may look small, but every payout carries meaning — it represents not just income, but participation and shared trust. Each pot of tea brewed connects hands across the mountain, across countries, and across hope. Also, we mainly picking leaves, and craft tea in village, with more wages payout( see in semi-annual report)
