Sharing about the signing content, Deputy General Director of Zott Vietnam Co., Ltd. Bui Quoc Hung said: “2024 marks the beginning of the nutrition fund "Zott Monte - Growing up with children", with 80,000 jars of Monte yogurt donated to children in the Central Highlands provinces. In 2025, the program will be expanded to the highland areas - where the rate of malnourished children is still high. With the goal of donating 140,000 jars of Zott Monte milk products, we hope that each gift sent will contribute to providing healthy nutrition and giving hope to the children here. In its development orientation, Zott always focuses on providing practical nutrition solutions, associated with community and child support, in order to contribute to building a sustainable future for future generations. Caring for children's nutrition is not only reflected in product quality, but also through long-term and responsible efforts to accompany society."

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Children's Fund Nguyen Thi Hien said: In recent years, Zott Vietnam Co., Ltd. is one of the typical units actively cooperating with the Vietnam Children's Fund to implement nutritional support activities for children in special and difficult circumstances. Not only stopping at donating products, Zott Vietnam also approaches the issue of nutritional care for children with a long-term, humane and modern perspective.

At the time of signing and announcing the fund, the program officially launched with 70,000 jars of products contributed by Zott Monte. The remaining 70,000 jars will continue to be raised through community activities. It is expected that the program will attract more than 70,000 shares with crowdfunding hashtags on social networking platforms such as Facebook/TikTok and a community named MomForMom built on the program website "Mom with Mom, growing up with baby" from December 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The expected time for giving the fund is from January 10, 2026 to January 30, 2026, and Lai Chau is chosen as the place to give the fund. Within the framework of the program, the Organizing Committee will also carry out communication, organize nutrition counseling classes, and communicate to raise awareness about the importance of proper nutritional supplementation for children from 6 months to 2 years old.

Directly participating in the signing ceremony and launching the program, Director of the Vietnam Children's Fund Dinh Tien Hai emphasized: The Vietnam Children's Fund has the function of mobilizing voluntary contributions from domestic and foreign agencies, organizations and individuals, international aid and state budget support when necessary to implement the state's priority goals for children; providing public career services in the field of children. After more than 33 years of operation, the Children's Fund at all levels has mobilized more than 8,000 billion VND, supporting more than 36 million children in special and difficult circumstances nationwide. In particular, the Vietnam Children's Fund alone, with the motto of "Dedication - Transparency - Timeliness - Participation", has mobilized over 1,800 billion VND and hundreds of thousands of tons of goods and materials to support nearly 8 million children in special and difficult circumstances.

Currently, out of a total of more than 25 million children under 16 years old, there are still over 800,000 children in special circumstances (accounting for 3.2%) and over 2 million children at risk of falling into special circumstances (accounting for 8%, mainly living in poor and near-poor families) who need more attention from the whole society. With this Nutrition Fund Program, in addition to donating products, the program also aims to become a bridge between mothers through the MomForMom (M4M) community - where mothers can sympathize, share and learn from each other in the journey of raising children. Thereby, the Nutrition Fund Program "Zott Monte - Growing up with children" has contributed to realizing the goal of no child being left behind, all children receive loving care and adequate nutrition to grow up happy, regardless of region./.
