Accordingly, this team compiles the revenues and expenditures on the website with the domain name taichinh.nuoiem.com. This website posts many reports on the project's revenues and expenditures, with links attached.

The project team acknowledges some limitations in reporting and information and will seek to cooperate with specialized units to improve the quality of reports. "Nuoi em" also updates the reporting results and action results on the fanpage and general information page.

Unused money from 2019 is saved by the project, the interest is used for operating and logistics costs such as communication, survey, travel, volunteer support, etc.

On the project's public financial website, the project information states that since 2019, the project team has agreed to deposit the unused funds into the bank. The interest is spent on operations, monthly staff support and business travel support.

Accordingly, the project supports 1.5 million VND/person/trip to the province for work (survey, contact, work, verification, etc.). People who go on business trips to other provinces are supported 2 million VND/trip and those who go on business trips abroad are supported up to 3 million VND.

The project implementation team believes that the burden of management and operating costs is very large, and saving to optimize unused cash flow and reduce the personal cost burden of volunteers.

Freezing accounts doesn't mean students will have their meal allowances cut.

Responding to questions from sponsors, the "Nuoi Em" project informed that at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, the project received a list of 71,761 students. Of these, 67,996 students need support for 1 meal and 3,765 students need support for 2 meals.

The records of these students are converted into 75,526 codes. The monthly support since the beginning of the year is based on the actual increase and decrease of student lists from the school.

Since the children's living expenses are paid in installments, freezing the account does not affect the children's meals.

"The project sincerely apologizes for the previous post due to unclear information provided. The project commits to freezing the account solely for statistical purposes and this freezing is due to the project's error" - the project announced.

Duplicate code "Nuoi Em" (Raise a Child) due to operational or handover error.

Answering many people's questions about the same "Nuoi em" code having 2 sponsors, in case the child is old enough, meets the State's standards and still receives support..., the "Nuoi em" project said that the "Nuoi em" codes are issued according to the mechanism: 1 time, 1 meal, 1 sponsor.

The project claims to have a list and written confirmation from the (former) school or education department.

"Errors can occur such as inaccurate, outdated, or duplicate information due to operational or handover issues."

However, the initial list and money transfer always comply with the request document and the list from the locality, or necessities such as warm clothes, water filters (with receipts) should ensure that there is no excess transfer or keeping for yourself" - the "Raising Children" project affirmed.
