Children's Support Fund and Saigon Children's Charity CIO award scholarships to disadvantaged children in Dau Tieng district.

 Reach out to vulnerable children

In the last days of 2024, hundreds of disadvantaged students in Dau Tieng district were happy to receive scholarships from the Project "Developing education for disadvantaged students in Binh Duong province, phase 2023-2028" of the non-governmental organization Saigon Children's Charity CIO. The total value of the scholarship award was up to 273 million VND.

Receiving a scholarship and gifts from the program, Nguyen Ngoc Tuong Vy, a student at Thanh Tuyen High School in Dau Tieng district, expressed, "This will motivate me and my friends to excel in our studies and strive to meet everyone's expectations."

Trinh Trung Hau's mother passed away due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and shortly after, his father also left. Now, he lives with his sister and grandmother in a small house located in the An Thanh quarter of An Tay ward in Ben Cat City. The family's living and educational expenses rely solely on the salary of his older sister, who works as a factory laborer. The burden on the family grew heavier when, in August 2024, Hau fell off his bike and suffered septic shock with multiple organ damage. Fortunately, he is now out of danger and is currently undergoing treatment for blood clotting issues.

After learning about Hau's situation, the Children's Support Fund visited his family and provided them with 10 million VND in assistance. Additionally, the fund reached out to benefactors to gather more support, helping the family to access better treatment for Hau.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Trieu, Director of the Provincial Children's Support Fund, stated that the organization is dedicated to supporting and caring for children, especially those in particularly difficult circumstances. The fund has collaborated with various agencies, organizations, and individuals to organize numerous meaningful and practical activities aimed at sharing, encouraging, and assisting families and children in overcoming challenges and improving their lives. Each case supported by the fund undergoes a thorough investigation and verification process. The Fund consistently ensures that its resources are used for their intended purposes, fostering trust among sponsors and within the community.

Bring spring to children

As is customary each year, the Provincial Children's Support Fund is actively preparing for activities to support children during the Tet holiday. This year, to bring joy to children facing difficult circumstances for the Lunar New Year in 2025, the Sponsorship Council of the Provincial Children's Support Fund has planned the 18th edition of the "Spring with Children in Difficult Situations" program, which will take place in Binh Duong province.

Accordingly, the Provincial Children's Support Fund Sponsorship Council in coordination with sectors, levels and philanthropists will organize 3 "Spring with disadvantaged children" journeys at 3 locations, including: Thuan An Center for Education of Disabled Children (Thuan An City); Tu Tam Nhan Ai Center (Bac Tan Uyen District) and Provincial Association of the Blind. Through the program, the Provincial Children's Support Fund raised funds to provide each child with gifts valued at 800,000 VND, which included 400,000 VND in cash and 400,000 VND worth of gifts.

With the motto "Dedicate all the best to children", this is the message of humanity, affection, and sharing of the Provincial Children's Support Fund together with all levels, sectors, businesses, and philanthropists for children every spring. With the support and encouragement of organizations and individuals, we hope to help children enjoy a fuller and happier spring. This will provide them with motivation to overcome adversity and thrive in life.

“In the near future, the Provincial Children's Support Fund aims to enhance resources to achieve its goals for children. To do this, the fund will focus on raising awareness within society about the importance of protecting, caring for, and educating children. Additionally, we will reach out to philanthropists for support to assist disadvantaged children in various ways. We hope that all organizations, individuals, and authorities at all levels will continue to pay attention, collaborate, and contribute to our fund to help support and care for children facing difficult circumstances in the province," said Mr. Nguyen Tan Trieu.
