On the evening of December 7, in a post on his personal page, Hoang Hoa Trung - founder of the Nuoi Em project - admitted that he was surprised by the seriousness of the problems related to the project, so he made a series of decisions to ensure maximum transparency.
Specifically, on December 8, the founder of the Nuoi Em project will work with Vietcombank to freeze account 0491001764766 for 15 days to compile all income and expenditure over the past years, and invite an independent third party to audit because he himself "is not sure he did it 100% correctly".
The Nurturing Project will freeze the account for 15 days to compile all income and expenses over the past years.
Mr. Hoang Hoa Trung said he will temporarily stop paying for food for the children during this time, to prioritize resolving questions from benefactors.
"This is the first time in the 11-year history of the project that it has had to pause for a while, but at the moment, the community's trust in Nuoi Em is much more important. I realize that my team and I have the responsibility to explain fully, in detail, transparently and clearly. During that time, pausing the project's operational activities to prioritize focusing on resolving the difficulties of the donors is much more important."
The founder commits to record, summarize and respond to each case. Sponsors can track and submit issues via public link. Hoang Hoa Trung calls on the community to support auditing, professional consulting and information transparency.
In the Q&A section, Hoang Hoa Trung confirmed many incidents such as duplicate codes, collecting money for the previous school year, volunteers communicating inappropriately, reminding to transfer money many times, using personal accounts... and accepted responsibility for unclear communication and flawed procedures.
"We are sorry that our lack of experience in communications has caused you to have misunderstandings. We sincerely apologize for the experiences you have had. We will pay more attention to communications and clarify when similar incidents occur in the future," said the founder of Nuoi Em.

Regarding the issue of duplicate codes, the founder of the Nuoi Em project affirmed that he has improved and will improve the process, compare information at three levels (project - school - government), and consider switching to 4-digit charity accounts from 2026.
Hoang Hoa Trung affirmed that the bank account serving the Nuoi Em project has been planned to be used for charity since 2018, 100% of the revenue and expenditure activities in the account are for charity purposes.
Trung said the project's operating resources come from bank interest and private funding, completely separate from childcare money. In cases where there is a surplus due to policy changes, there will be options such as reserving it, transferring it to school construction or refunding it. He pledged to resolve all issues, be as transparent as possible and continue to be open to correcting mistakes.
The Feed the Children project was initiated in 2014 with the aim of providing quality meals to ethnic minority children. Each donor “adopts” a child through a small daily donation, helping schools maintain their kitchens and significantly reducing the rate of student dropouts.
However, on the evening of December 6, the incident related to the Nuoi Em charity project began to explode on social networks when many accounts posted text messages, questioning the financial transparency of the program.
One Threads user said he received a “foster” code and paid in August 2025. However, in November, the project continued to text asking for payment for the 2025-2026 school year, making them wonder why they had to pay twice in just three months.
Another case reflects that the child they adopted was actually removed from the list in January 2025, but the project only announced it in December 2025. Notably, in August 2025, the project still sent a message asking this person to continue contributing to that same child.
Some accounts also discovered that their “foster” code was the same as someone else’s. In addition, the fact that the project has been operating for many years but still receives donations through the personal account number of founder Hoang Hoa Trung also makes many people doubt the transparency of the project.
One of them said he believed in participating in the Nuoi Em project because Den Vau called for support. A few hours ago, rapper Den Vau spoke up, clarifying the relationship between him and the Nuoi Em project.
He affirmed that he did not found, participate in the management or decide on any financial or budget issues of the project; he and his team are just philanthropists like many other benefactors.

The male rapper hopes everyone will stay calm and wait for transparency from the project team. He affirmed: “If there are violations that are concluded by the authorities, Den supports handling them to the end to protect the interests of the benefactors and, most importantly, the children.”
Released in 2023, the song Cooking for You by Den Vau has spread positive energy and brought the Raising for You project closer to the public. After a month of release, he announced that the song's revenue reached 17,951 USD (nearly 420 million VND), rounded up to 500 million VND and sent all of it to the project to build schools and support meals for children in remote areas.
