Children’s Education Foundation – Vietnam works to break the poverty cycle by helping girls from impoverished communities to complete school or receive further education, helping not just young women, but also succeeding generations and their communities to have the possibility of a better life with more choice.
A better life for young women can mean many things. A girl who completes her schooling grows into a woman who is better able to look after her health and that of her children. By finishing schooling herself, she will care more that her children finish theirs and be better able to support them while they are in school. As a result of the skills and competencies she has gained during her schooling, she will be better equipped to earn a living and so have greater independence and dignity. An educated young woman is also at considerably less risk of becoming a victim of the sex trade or ending up an imprisoned worker in a sweatshop.
The sense of self-esteem and confidence that completing school gives, can contribute significantly to the positive development not only of the individual but also to that of their families, their community and society as a whole.
In order to keep young girls in school and safe, Children’s Education Foundation provides scholarships to help high school girls from a mountainous area near the Vietnam-Laos border. Most trafficking in Vietnam takes place along its borders. Photos and an annual report on the project are sent to each person who takes on a scholarship.
Children’s Education Foundation frequently receives requests for educational support for children who are orphaned or from poor or challenging circumstances. The best help for these children is a long-term commitment to their education. Providing sponsors with annual photos, a letter or drawing from the child and a report on them including their school results.
