Looking back at the four-year period (2022-2025) of implementation in the former Cai Be district, now encompassing eight communes in Dong Thap province, the "Clean Water for Schools" project has achieved impressive results.

The Ho Chi Minh City Association for the Support of Poor Patients has mobilized funding and installed 55 direct-tap drinking water filtration systems for 43 schools. With a total cost of over 3.2 billion VND, the project is currently providing safe water for more than 28,000 students and teachers.

To date, the clean water infrastructure at schools within the project area has been largely completed. Beyond just clean water, throughout its operation, the program has also donated thousands of textbooks, school supplies, bicycles, and scholarships, contributing to the comprehensive care of the future generation.
