We are excited to share our latest progress in supporting the futures of the youngest and most vulnerable in Vietnam through our education and nutrition programs.
Scholarship Program
Thanks to your generous support, the PeaceTrees Vietnam Scholarship Program awarded 243 scholarships for the 2023-2024 academic year, supporting female ethnic minority children, those impacted by explosive ordnance accidents, and children facing financial hardships. We held award ceremonies in Dong Ha, Dakrong, and Huong Hoa, where students also received essential EORE notebooks. This initiative continues to foster education and empower the next generation.
Tet Celebrations and School Lunch Program
In celebration of Tet, we visited 17 kindergartens in Quang Tri and Quang Bình Provinces, delivering goodie bags and lì xì (red envelopes traditional to Tet) to students. Our school lunch program, providing crucial nutrition to combat undernutrition affecting many young children, remains a cornerstone of our support. Ensuring students receive daily nutritious meals promotes healthy development and helps them thrive in their educational journey.
Ongoing Community Support
The legacy of war still impacts food security in central Vietnam. Our efforts extend beyond clearing unexploded ordnance to supporting community-led development and agricultural projects. These initiatives are vital for kindergartens and community centers, offering safe learning spaces and mine risk education.
Your continued generosity is instrumental in creating better opportunities for children in places like Quang Tri Province. We deeply appreciate your support in our mission to restore both land and lives affected by the remnants of war.
Thank you for your continued commitment to PeaceTrees Vietnam!
