"Support to School" 2025 awards 1,200 scholarships to students with disabilities

On April 18, in Hanoi, the Vietnam Fund for Children with Disabilities in collaboration with the Youth Union of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially launched the program "Supporting Children to School" 2025.

The "Support to School" 2025 program was officially launched.

The program's goal is to award 1,200 scholarships to disadvantaged disabled students in 12 provinces including Cao Bang , Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Quang Ninh, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Dak Nong, Tuyen Quang and Tra Vinh.

Each scholarship is worth 4,000,000 VND, including 4,000,000 VND in cash and essential gifts (milk, candy, school supplies) to cover the children's study and living expenses throughout the school year.

In 2024, the program successfully raised more than VND 2.19 billion from the community with 30,000 messages of support via the national humanitarian portal 1400 and more than 15,000 direct transfers to the Fund's account.

The program's goal is to award 1,200 scholarships to disadvantaged students with disabilities.

Thanks to that, 1,002 scholarships were awarded to disabled students in mountainous border provinces.

Ms. Duong Thi Bich Diep, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the Fund for Children with Disabilities in Vietnam, emphasized: "We want the children to know that they are not alone on the way to school. We and the entire Vietnamese community, both domestically and internationally, are always ready to accompany them, ready to give them a foothold so that they can confidently move forward. That is also the reason for the birth of the program "Helping them go to school".

On this occasion, the Vietnam Fund for Children with Disabilities and TikTok Vietnam signed a strategic cooperation agreement, committing to implementing a digital transformation program for children with disabilities and their families. The program aims to train digital skills for children about to enter the working age and also equip families with the necessary skills to participate in income-generating activities and improve their lives through e-commerce.

The project also promotes awareness and spreads information about activities to support children with disabilities, with the participation of influential people, creating more opportunities for them to integrate and develop sustainably.

In addition, the Fund launched an official TikTok account called "Fund for Vietnamese Children with Disabilities". The channel will be a place to update timely and accurate information about the lives and activities of children with disabilities, while spreading stories of perseverance of disabled students across the country.
