Godmother - illuminating the future

On August 2nd, the Provincial Women Entrepreneurs Association organized the "Godmother - Lighting Up the Future" program, a meeting to commend and reward children with outstanding academic and behavioral achievements in the 2024-2025 school year and to present gifts for the new school year. Attending the meeting were leaders from the Provincial Women's Union, the Provincial Business Association, the Provincial Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, businesses, entrepreneurs, and 22 sponsored children along with their relatives.

Two mother-child pairs were introduced: Godmother Nguyen Thi Tam and son Nguyen Duy Hieu, and Godmother Le Thi Luong and son Trieu Nguyen Minh Hoang.

At the program, delegates witnessed the introduction of two mother-child pairs: Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Vietnam High-Tech Agricultural Materials Joint Stock Company, sponsored the second child, Nguyen Duy Hieu, born on July 28, 2012, residing in Zone 6, Phu Ninh Commune, who is fatherless and in very difficult circumstances. She will provide support for 53 months, at a rate of 500,000 VND per month, totaling 26.5 million VND. Ms. Le Thi Luong, Chairman of the Board of Members and Director of Khanh Mai Trading Company Limited, sponsored the third child, Trieu Nguyen Minh Hoang, born on May 4, 2012, residing in Zone 7, Hung Son Town, Lam Thao 9 (formerly), for 52 months, at a rate of 500,000 VND per month, totaling 26 million VND.

Leaders of the Provincial Women Entrepreneurs Association and delegates presented gifts to students who achieved good results in their studies and training.

The "Godmother" program and the "Lighting Up the Future" fund are deeply humane activities that uphold the traditions of the Vietnamese nation and Vietnamese women in general, and women of the ancestral land in particular. They demonstrate compassion and tolerance, providing orphaned children with opportunities for self-development and motivation to strive for a better life. After nearly two years of implementation, the "Godmother" program and the "Lighting Up the Future" fund of the Provincial Women Entrepreneurs Association have mobilized and sponsored 27 orphaned children in the province with a total budget of nearly 800 million VND.

Currently, 20 children are continuing to receive support until they reach the age of 18. Besides financial assistance, the mothers also organize many activities to care for the children's mental well-being, such as giving gifts on holidays and organizing family meals. During the past school year, 100% of the children achieved good conduct grades, 10 children received excellent, good, or fair grades, 1 child passed the university entrance exam, and 2 children passed the entrance exam to public high schools.

Leaders of the Provincial Business Association presented gifts to support the Godmother Program and the Lighting Up the Future Fund of the Provincial Women Entrepreneurs Association.

Leaders of the Provincial Association of Small and Medium Enterprises presented gifts to support the program.

This is clear evidence of the sustainable effectiveness of the loving and humane "lighting up the future" journey. At the program, many organizations, businesses, and individuals directly presented symbolic checks to support the program financially; mothers also donated funds to support their children in the third and fourth quarters of 2025, demonstrating their long-term commitment to disadvantaged children; and awards were presented to 22 students who achieved high academic results in the 2024-2025 school year.
