According to information at the event, Phu Yen district is a mountainous area with about 90% of the population being ethnic minorities, with many areas lacking infrastructure. Due to the rugged mountainous terrain, students have difficulty traveling, many of whom have to stay in the boarding area of Da Do Primary and Secondary School. Da Do commune is also regularly affected by harsh weather, with temperatures that can exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the dry season and heavy rainfall in the rainy season.
Faced with that reality, the People's Committee of Phu Yen district has actively improved educational infrastructure. This project of the boarding area, kitchen and dining room belongs to the "Project to build a boarding area for Da Do Primary and Secondary School, Phu Yen district, Son La province" with a total funding of more than 71,800 USD (equivalent to 1.7 billion VND) from the Kusanone grassroots non-refundable aid program of the Japanese Government. The project includes a 5-room dormitory (135m2) and a kitchen (110m2) with 45 beds for boarding students.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Mr. Sato Kenji said that the Kusanone Grassroots Grant Aid Program prioritizes urgent humanitarian issues for many remote and isolated localities. Starting in Vietnam in 1992, the Program has so far supported about 744 projects worth more than 66 million USD.
"Through this support, the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam wishes to join hands to cooperate and connect to the future with the Vietnamese people. This project will help students, the future generation of Vietnam, have better learning conditions and build a bright future. This practical support also contributes to strengthening the friendship between Japan and Vietnam," he said.
In a message to the school, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Ito Naoki, expressed his delight at the project’s efforts to improve the learning and living conditions of students. He emphasized that on the basis of the comprehensive strategic cooperation between Japan and Vietnam, this practical support will continue to contribute to the sustainable development of Vietnam.
