Vietnam has one of the densest populations in the world. Although its economy is booming, the proportion of the population living below the national poverty level is still high. The mountainous provinces are the poorest regions of Vietnam, where many ethnic minorities live. Without any stable income, people in these areas rely mostly on governmental subsidies. They can hardly afford their children’s tuition fees. VFE in collaboration with local authorities and competent agencies provide essential support for needy families with children at school age. Thereby, the less privileged would be able to receive standard education conditions, which indirectly help them to become responsible and knowledgeable citizens and help to develop their locality and community.
Each community has its own needs and assets, as well as its own culture and social structure. By talking directly to the community, we can identify local needs and how to improve these issues the most logical and efficient way possible.
