The program aims to mobilize resources from agencies, organizations and people nationwide to join hands to support and raise funds to donate 1,000 gifts to disabled children in difficult circumstances, with the ability and desire to go to school in 10 mountainous border provinces: Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Quang Ninh, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong to realize their dream of going to school in the new school year 2024 - 2025, with a support level of 2 million VND/child.
The above support level is to help children pay tuition fees or buy equipment and living expenses during the 2024-2025 school year. The program's beneficiaries are disabled children in 10 mountainous border provinces, of school age, with the ability and desire to go to school, with a certificate of poor/near-poor household from the locality where the child lives or confirmation from the school where the child is studying.
In addition to the goal of raising funds for material support, the program hopes to call for the attention, sharing, and support of the community, families, and local authorities for the equal right to access education for children with disabilities so that they can confidently walk on the road ahead.
To support the program, benefactors texted via the number 1407 of the National Humanitarian Information Portal 1400. Each TEKT text sent to 1407 will contribute 20,000 VND to help disabled children have the opportunity to go to school. The texting program was implemented from 0:00 on May 25 to 24:00 on July 23. In addition, groups and individuals supporting the program can follow the list of supporters at account 2024 on the official website of the Fund for Children with Disabilities of Vietnam https://vitreemkhuyettat.org/.
According to statistics from the National Committee for Persons with Disabilities in Vietnam, there are currently about 8 million people with disabilities in the country, of which more than 2 million are children. Worryingly, more than 90% of children with disabilities lack access to at least two basic social services, such as: education, health care, nutrition, housing, clean water and sanitation, information, social integration and a safe living environment.
Most disabled children under 17 years old, with disabilities in movement, hearing, language, vision, intelligence, etc., come from multidimensionally poor households, living in rural and remote areas. They are in great need of social support to access essential services, learning opportunities and community integration.
Despite facing physical limitations, children always want to learn, live a full life, and integrate into the community. Each gift of support is like a magic key, opening the door to the world of knowledge, helping them overcome the barriers of disability, freely explore and integrate into the community.
