Nutifood helps poor students realize their dream of going to school

At the ceremony, Nutifood also donated 200 boxes of nutritional products, worth nearly 50 million VND in total, to the students.

Representatives from Nutifood, together with the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union, presented scholarships to underprivileged students and university students in the city who have overcome difficulties.

As an exemplary student who persevered in her studies, Le Minh Tu, a recent graduate with honors in English Language from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, once considered dropping out because her family couldn't afford the tuition fees. Her family was poor, her father passed away early, and the burden fell entirely on her mother's shoulders as she had to raise three children, all of whom were of school age.

Thanks to the encouragement of her family and teachers, and the timely support of the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship, Tu was able to reach and continue writing her "dream" of attending university.

“ Since entering university, I have always received support from the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship and the help of generous benefactors. Therefore, I have been able to focus on my studies and successfully obtain my university degree. On behalf of all scholarship recipients, I would like to express my sincere and profound gratitude to the benefactors who have always cared for and helped us, ” Minh Tu shared.

Like Tú, Đặng Lê Phương Dung, a final-year student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, also faced difficult circumstances and was deeply moved upon receiving a scholarship and nutritional gifts from Nutifood. Dung recounted that due to her family's financial difficulties, her parents had to persuade her to drop out of school and work as a factory worker.

Dung struggled a lot and decided to go to Saigon to study at university on her own, pursuing her dream, because for her, " only through education can I change my life ." Every day, besides studying, Dung took on various jobs, from working as a waitress in a restaurant and at a shopping mall to doing administrative work at a company... to both help her family and cover her study expenses.

For Dang Le Phuong Dung, the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship is a valuable source of encouragement that helps her fulfill her academic dreams.

“ The scholarship has truly been a valuable source of encouragement for me over the past four years, helping me overcome all difficulties to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a teacher. I am very grateful to the sponsors and the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union for giving me this opportunity.”

"I hope that in the future I can become a successful person so that I can contribute to sponsoring the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship, continuing to inspire students with similar circumstances to mine ," Phuong Dung said.

Appreciating Nutifood's contribution, Ms. Tran Thi Phuong Hoa - Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union, said: " Thanks to the joint efforts of benefactors like Nutifood accompanying the Union, more and more poor but studious students are able to realize and nurture their dreams, strive to overcome difficulties, and confidently face life, thereby continuing to spread love to those around them."

That is also the enduring and humane value that the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Scholarship has been implementing for the past 33 years .”

Besides collaborating with organizations such as the Vietnam Women's Union and the Red Cross, Nutifood has consistently implemented meaningful educational sponsorship programs throughout its more than 20 years of development.
