Accompanying disabled and orphaned students in difficult circumstances

Caring for the health, material and spiritual life of children in special circumstances always receives the attention of all levels, sectors, local authorities, and charitable organizations and individuals inside and outside Quang Ninh province.

Representatives of the Vietnam Association for Relief of Disabled Children, the Provincial Association for the Protection of Disabled Children, the Vietnam Fund for Disabled Children and other benefactors presented gifts to children in special circumstances in the program "Helping orphans and disabled children go to school" in 2025.

The Provincial Association for the Support of People with Disabilities and Orphans (PWD-TMC) coordinated with benefactors to organize a program to visit and give gifts to students of Don Dac Primary and Secondary School (Ba Che district) in May 2025. The school is located about 15km from the commune center, with 100% of the students being Dao ethnic people, and the learning and living conditions are still lacking.

The program was attended by the Nhan Tam Ha Long Volunteer Club and teachers from the school. The students enjoyed joyful performances, received candy, new uniforms and many other practical gifts.

In particular, meaningful gifts were given to children in difficult circumstances, including orphans and disabled students. Chiu Thai Son (8 years old), a second grader with a congenital disability, living in Tau Tien village (Don Dac commune), received the loving gift with an innocent, bright smile. Son was given new clothes, cakes and candies on the occasion of Children's Day and happily shared: "I like it very much".

Mr. Ngo Sach Thuc, Chairman of the Vietnam Association for the Relief of Disabled Children, presented gifts to Nguyen Phuong Anh (Tran Hung Dao ward, Ha Long city).

Ms. Le Thi Nguyen, Head of the Nhan Tam Ha Long Volunteer Club, said: “We not only bring new uniforms to all students, but also special gifts for orphans and disabled children. We also give gifts to encourage teachers working at the school, hoping to give more strength to those who are spreading knowledge day and night in the highlands.”

At the end of May 2025, the Vietnam Association for the Relief of Disabled Children in collaboration with the Association for the Protection of the Disabled and the Vietnam Fund for Disabled Children organized the program "Helping Orphans and Disabled Children Go to School". The program honored 147 students with special circumstances who have made efforts to overcome difficulties and achieved high results in the 2024-2025 school year.

One of the typical faces is Nguyen Phuong Anh (14 years old), in Zone 4, Tran Hung Dao Ward (Ha Long City). Suffering from a metabolic disorder that causes her body to develop slowly compared to her peers, Phuong Anh did not surrender to adversity but always tried hard in her studies, being an advanced student for many years. She shared: "Coming to the program, I saw that there are many friends like me. I will try to study better to become a useful person for society."

Ha Long Charity Club presented uniforms to students at Don Dac Primary and Secondary School (Ba Che district) in May 2025.

At the event, the Vietnam Fund for Disabled Children and philanthropists donated hundreds of millions of VND to motivate the children to overcome their circumstances. Mr. Ngo Sach Thuc, Chairman of the Vietnam Association for the Relief of Disabled Children, emphasized: “The children are examples of determination and aspiration to rise up. Teachers, parents and philanthropists are the “angels”, supporting the wings of their dreams every day with all their hearts and kindness.”

Currently, Quang Ninh province has more than 4,000 children in special circumstances and more than 4,500 children at risk of falling into special circumstances. Many of them also face difficulties in housing, health care,education and community integration...

The Provincial Association for the Support of the Disabled and Disabled recognizes the kindness of sponsors who have contributed a lot to support students in special circumstances in Quang Ninh province in the program "Helping orphans and disabled children go to school" in 2025.

In order to improve the living conditions of children, Quang Ninh province has issued many support policies and called on the whole society to join hands to care for and protect children. Every year, the Provincial Association for the Protection of the Disabled and Disabled implements many practical activities such as: "Connecting Hands of Love" program, "Helping Orphans and Disabled Children Go to School" movement, "Warm Clothes for Children", or "Doing Charity Together, Connecting Love"... Through that, thousands of orphans and disabled children have been sponsored, given bicycles, wheelchairs, study corners and many other meaningful gifts. In 6 years (2019-2024), more than 16,000 children across the province have received support, with a total value of tens of billions of VND.

Mr. Lanh The Vinh, Chairman of the Provincial Association for the Support of Disabled and Disabled Children, said: “In response to this year's Action Month for Children, we have screened children in special circumstances to connect with benefactors. Up to now, 30 students have been registered for sponsorship by 2 benefactors. We are also preparing school supplies such as bicycles and computers to give to the children in the new school year 2025-2026. In the Action Month for Children 2025 alone, the total value of the gifts given will be up to 800 million VND.”
