Rebuilt from disaster into a renewed campus.
Beigang Elementary serves Beigang Village in Guoxing Township, a mountainous Hakka community in Nantou County. Like many schools in the area, its buildings were severely damaged in the catastrophic 1999 921 earthquake, and the campus was rebuilt under the Tzu Chi Foundation's Hope Project — a nationwide effort that reconstructed dozens of quake-damaged schools across central Taiwan. The school's recovery story was later featured in a profile in Tzu Chi Monthly.
北港國小服務國姓鄉北港村，是南投縣山區的客家聚落之一。與該區許多學校相同，校舍於1999年921大地震中嚴重受損，其後在慈濟基金會「希望工程」援建下重建——這項全國性計畫在中台灣重建了數十所受災學校。北港國小的重生故事後來亦登上《慈濟月刊》專題報導。
