Across Vietnam, 25 million children are preparing to return to school this month. For many, it’s a season of fresh notebooks, new teachers, and the excitement of what lies ahead—just like for your own children or students in your community. But for children from the poorest households in Vietnam, that same excitement is often replaced with uncertainty. These students are 5x more likely to drop out before finishing secondary school—cutting short their dreams, limiting their futures, and trapping families in cycles of poverty.
At Children of Vietnam, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. With the right support at the right moment, the story can change.
From Classroom to Career: Dat’s Inspiring Journey
A recent graduate from the University of Science and Technology in Da Nang, Dat is now working as a Technical Specialist at one of Vietnam’s leading industrial companies. Even before completing his degree in machine production, Dat had already secured the job, an incredible milestone—made possible through four years of dedication, along with support from COV and its generous donors.
Read Dat’s story to discover how a boy from a rural village transformed his life through hard work and hope.
Thank you for helping us turn this back-to-school season into a season of hope and opportunity for Vietnam’s children.
Looking ahead to the 2025–2026 school year, our goal is to raise $120,000 to ensure that students in Da Nang, Hue, and Quang Tri can pursue their dreams.
Your Donation Can Help
Provide $60,000 for the Bright Scholars program to support 40 first-year university students facing financial challenges due to difficult family circumstances.
Allocate $21,000 for the Study Steps program to enroll 75 students and offer after-school tutoring and life skills opportunities for those needing extra educational support.
Offer $39,000 to fund 1,000 one-time scholarships for students in disadvantaged situations.

Monthly Gift: Recurring donations provide a steady stream of support, ensuring uninterrupted programs and a brighter future for Vietnamese children.
