The National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC), in collaboration with the Hanoi People’s Committee, on July 29 presented scholarships worth 3 million VND (141 USD) each to 170 outstanding students living in difficulties in the city.
Speaking at the event, Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan, who is also NFVC President, appreciated Hanoi in the care of its children, especially in reducing child-abuse cases. She asked municipal authorities to seek measures to increase the efficiency of support activities.
Hanoi is home to over 1.7 million children, of whom 13,000 are in extremely difficult circumstances and nearly 1,000 living in sponsor centres.
The municipal fund for children has to date mobilised 5.8 billion VND (272,600 USD), which have been used effectively for charitable activities. It has given bicycles to 80 students with good performance in study, provided free surgery for 25 hare-lipped and cleft palate children, and equipped seven kindergartens with toys.
On this occasion, the Imex Pan Pacific Co. Ltd. donated 500 million VND (23,500 USD) to the fund.-VNA
