In 2025, the project equipped 5 charity classrooms with learning equipment, including 7 televisions and stands, 7 desktop computers, 5 portable speakers, 11 teaching aids, 26 desks and chairs, 8 bookshelves, and 10 mobile boards. In addition, the project also supported learning tools, uniforms, and gym clothes for nearly 355 students. The total cost of implementation was nearly 600 million VND.
To date, the project has supported 400 children in special circumstances with full school supplies and knowledge and skills on child protection. In parallel, 60 social workers, teachers and volunteers have also been trained in professional knowledge on child protection.
During the implementation process, 185 students were transferred to the general school system. In particular, 3 students with good academic performance were eligible to transfer to public schools, including 1 7th grader and 2 6th graders studying at Hung Binh Secondary School (Thu Duc City).
Nguyen Van Bao Anh (12 years old), studying at a charity class in Long Binh Ward, emotionally shared his joy when he was able to enter grade 6 at a public school: "I am very happy to be able to go to class with my friends, to study and play. I promise to be a good student and study well so as not to disappoint the teachers who love us."

Reporting at the conference, Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy (70 years old), representative of the charity class in Binh Trung Dong Ward, said that the project is an important and breakthrough step in building a fair society where all children have the opportunity to develop their full potential.
From September 2024 to June 2025, the Binh Trung Dong Ward charity class received 65 student backpacks, 57 sets of textbooks, 285 pens, 65 sets of uniform shirts, and 65 sets of gym uniforms. The project also supported the classroom with 1 TV, 1 desktop computer, 4 mobile boards, 15 sets of tables and chairs, and 2 mobile speakers to support teaching.
