Our Programs - Education Sponsorship
Children's Education Foundation - Vietnam works to break the poverty cycle by helping girls from impoverished or marginalized communities complete school or receive further education or training, helping not just the young women, but also succeeding generations and their communities to have the possibility of a better life with more choice.
Most of our work is our Education Sponsorship Program with its aim of keeping girls in school until they complete their education. Our CEF children are orphaned, from poor families or they have very difficult family circumstances. This means the carer or family often are enable to keep the girls in school. The best way we can help these girls is with a long-term commitment to their education.
CEF's education sponsorship programs are helping girls to stay in school in: Thai Binh Province in the north, Da Nang City and Quang Nam Province in the center of Vietnam.
The children CEF accepts to the sponsorship program are in need of educational support to be able to complete their education. We are committed to seeing them finish high school and we too ask those who wish to sponsor to have the same commitment.
Sponsorships are US$260/$320/$385 depending on the class of the child.
Quang Nam Education Program
Quang Nam is a large province with the South China Sea to the east, Laos to the west, Da Nang and Hue to the north and the provinces of Quang Ngai and Kontum to the south. Most of this low-lying coastal province is vulnerable to the full force of the typhoons and the flooding and destruction they bring, especially on the poor. To the west the land is hilly and forested making access hard and reducing productivity. Because there is little agricultural land that can be used all year round, farmers struggle to make a reasonable living. Two crops can be grown each year, but may be lost due to the harsh conditions. The incomes of families vary from zero to US$100 per month. Some of the children have lost one or both of their parents and many are being cared for by grandparents or aunts and uncles. The children mainly come from fishing and farming communities.
Da Nang Education Program
Da Nang is a coastal city in central Vietnam. We started by helping families from an isolated leper community. These families have now been moved from their homeland for development purposes and some have been well compensated. CEF continues to help those that were not. CEF's education program has developed to help others outside this community. Most of those we help are from fishing families.
Thai Binh Education Program
The children we help from this northern province of Thai Binh are in and around Phuc Le commune. Some have only one parent, others have a parent with a disability and a few live with grandparents in cases where both parents have died.
Most of the villagers are rice farmers and manage to grow sufficient rice and vegetables for themselves, but not enough to sell. Some families now have fish farms or are rearing pigs to supplement their incomes. Because it is so difficult for them to earn a living locally to sustain themselves and their families, and a few parents are permanently absent working in large cities. It is not uncommon for parents never to return, while others are absent for long periods and send money home.
