About the Schools For Future
“… the deplorable financial conditions in remote mountainous areas, ethnic children are lack of necessary schoolings. Most of them drop out of school at quite early age to serve as breadwinners for their families. Children in mountainous areas get little support and protection from their families because their parents have low awareness of themselves and also busy to make ends meet at the markets and on farms. Children at the age of 7 already have to take care of other younger brothers and sisters”
​
The existing low-fee schools in rural areas as well as aids from local and international NGO organizations are not enough to enable all children of schooling age in such areas have access to education and their rights to be recognized (Tommy Ngo, Children in mountainous areas of Vietnam, Paradise Travel, Updated: October 2, 2018)
​
The hard truth is there isn't a transportable and safe road for mountaineer's children to attend mainstream school.
More and urgent help is needed for these ethnic children to access to the elementary level of schooling: Reading and Writing. Your help is crucial in rescuing these children from the recognized literacy deprivation battle.

Our current project
Facts about children in mountainous areas Vietnam
According to Unicef, today, many children in Viet Nam enjoy a quality of life never imagined by previous generations. Yet, segments of the country’s child and adolescent population have been left behind by this dynamic socio-economic development and continue to live in conditions of deprivation and exclusion.
​
These widening disparities are driven by ethnicity, gender, place of origin and disability. This means one-in-five children (approximately 5.5 million) experience at least two deprivations in education, health, nutrition, shelter, water and sanitation, or social inclusion (Children in Vietnam, 2022).
​
We are building schools in the mountainous area of Vietnam for these children to get a better start to life; to access elementary education schooling.
