A small step can change a life – 52 times over.
In Da Nang, a new wave of support is giving disadvantaged students a chance to dream bigger, the Embassy of Sweden in Hanoi reports.
The Embassy of Sweden in Hanoi has joined hands with the Vietnam Red Cross Society to award 52 scholarships to children facing difficult circumstances.
The scholarships are part of the Children Above All – Aid (CA.AA) programme. More than 200 million VND has been invested, directly into the future of these young students.
In addition to financial support, students are also offered long-term mentorship, guidance, and encouragement – from their early school years all the way to graduation, and even into their first jobs.
Since 2006, the programme has supported around 100 students in Da Nang, with total funding nearing 4 billion VND.
Many have already gone on to complete vocational training, college, or university.
