Bring the warmth of compassion to children.
It can be said that each case of disadvantaged or special circumstances supported through the Hanoi Social Work Center and the Hanoi Children's Protection Fund contains long, heartbreaking, and touching stories.
For example, consider the case of D.D.AQ's family (born in 2019, residing in Tay Phuong commune (formerly Thach That district), Hanoi). At the age of 6, AQ's world revolved around prolonged and persistent treatments since he was unexpectedly diagnosed with "idiopathic thrombocytopenia" - a blood clotting disorder that causes mucosal bleeding and bruising in many areas of the body. His family's already difficult circumstances became even more challenging with the added burden of treating this serious illness. Understanding this case, the Hanoi Center for Social Work and the Hanoi Children's Protection Fund, in collaboration with the Thien Tam Fund ( Vingroup ), provided emergency assistance of 20 million VND, helping to alleviate some of the difficulties the child and his family faced during his treatment.
Or consider the story of two sisters, LTQ (22 years old) and LAD (13 years old), from Kham Thien Street, Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam Ward (Hanoi), who suffer from intellectual disabilities. Their family had to sell their house in 2016 to pay for their treatment. For the past nine years, the family has been renting rooms, moving from place to place, and only now have they settled in a tiny 15-meter-long, over 2-meter-wide tube house on Kham Thien Street. The inner room is barely big enough for a bed, with no partitions. In the outer room, their mother sets up a sewing machine to earn a living while also caring for her children. Their father works as a motorbike taxi driver, and when there are no customers, he keeps an eye on his older daughter, fearing she might get lost…
With the involvement of the Hanoi Center for Social Work and the Hanoi Children's Protection Fund, 20 million VND from the Charitable Fund was given to this family. More importantly, the Center will continue to monitor and support this case, mobilizing social resources to provide assistance.
These are just a few cases among thousands of children who have received assistance from the Hanoi Center for Social Work and the Hanoi Children's Protection Fund since the beginning of the year. In addition to providing emergency support, the Center for Social Work and the Hanoi Children's Protection Fund also mobilizes resources and provides regular financial assistance to children in difficult and special circumstances. In the first six months of 2025 alone, the Center provided support to 4,111 children with a total budget of over 4.9 billion VND.
