15:55, 2015/01/26
Over the past two decades, the Vietnam Children’s Fund (VCF) has raised more than VND4,000 billion to support more than 28 million disadvantaged children across the country.
The figure was released at the 8th “Spring for Children” Programme held in Hanoi on January 24 with the participation of State Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan and 30 children representing 1.5 million of disadvantaged children in the country.
 

 
Addressing the opening ceremony, Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) Pham Thi Hai Chuyen said the Party and State have adopted a number of guidelines and policies on child protection and care to ensure their comprehensive development.
She acknowledged and appreciated businesses, organisations and individuals’ contribution to the protection and care of children and hoped that more benefactors will join hands to support disadvantaged children.
She added that MoLISA will strictly guide the implementation of social welfare policies and ask VCF to effectively use the donations.
Minister Chuyen presented the Prime Minister’s Certificate of Merit to VCF and MoLISA’s certificates of merit to benefactors for their contribution to the protection and care of children.
The benefactors were received by State Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan on the same day,
The Vietnam Children’s Fund reported that last year it raised more than VND95 billion to support 86,300 disadvantaged children and signed funding agreements worth VND111 billion for the coming years.
This year the Fund aims to mobilise around VND70 billion for 47,000 children with difficulties.
Currently, there are around 2.6 million children in need, Ms.Doan said, hoping that benefactors will continue siding with the VCF to build more schools and help pupils from poor families go to school.
