Vice President takes over Chair of National Fund for Vietnamese Children
Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh took over the Chair of the Council of the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC) from former Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan at a ceremony in Hanoi on October 27.
Addressing the ceremony, former Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan expressed thanks to the council’s members and domestic and foreign donors who have worked closely with her and the fund over the past four years to improve the welfare of Vietnamese children.
Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh praised the hard work and dedication of the NFVC council members, particularly former Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan in the past tenure, to the cause of child protection and the wellbeing of all children.
She pledged to continue making efforts to build on the achievements made by the fund.
The NFVC is the only State-run fund for mobilizing resources for the cause of providing protection, care and education for children. After nearly 25 years in operation, the fund has raised more than VND5 trillion (US$225 million) and provided support to over 30 million children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The fund has set the goal of raising VND80 billion (US$3.6 million) and providing support to 55,000 children each year.
On the occasion, agencies and organisations committed more than VND18 billion (US$810,000) to the fund.
