Since March 2023, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) has collaborated with the Women's Union of Quang Binh (WU) to sponsor Ly's tuition and living expenses for three years (the character's name has been changed). Ly was a 13-year-old girl who was sexually abused by her own father. This sponsorship activity is part of "Scarlet Sails" project phase 2.
Ly’s family is one of many underprivileged households in the commune. Her family has five siblings: three boys and two girls. While her eldest brother got married and settled down, her second older brother barely completed the ninth grade before dropping out. Her parents were working as farmers and had unstable incomes, so her mother decided to work away; only Ly and her sisters have stayed at home with their father. In December 2022, Ly was sexually abused by her father. Her grandma alerted the authorities in time. Her father was detained by the district police and now faces charges of child sexual abuse.
VSF will aid Ly for three consecutive years with a sponsorship package worth 36 million VND due to her psychological trauma and lack of economic means to keep going to school. This package is deducted from the profit of the fundraising program "Moon Flavor” in 2022. In addition, WU of Quang Binh will keep a close eye on Ly and regularly notify VSF on her physical and mental development progress.
Chi, a 12-year-old girl who experienced sexual abuse by the school guard, has been funding the "Scarlet Sails" project since January 2021. So far, there are two survivors and six disadvantaged children are being sponsored by the project. Hopefully, they will perhaps be more motivated to study and pursue their unfulfilled dreams with the prompt assistance from VSF.
