FOR VIETNAMESE STATURE FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2026

In August 2026, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) continued implementing a range of activities in preparation for the 2026–2027 academic year. Under the Scarlet Sails project, VSF continued supporting a core group of students in Hai Phong to learn about violence and abuse and practise identifying risks, setting boundaries, speaking up, and seeking support when needed.

To help children grow up safely and with love, equipping them with self-protection skills is important, but so are family support and connection. VSF is currently fundraising through the sale of the “Connection” Cards, which helps parents and children better understand each other’s perspectives, emotions, and experiences, enabling parents to “step into” their children’s world and provide support when needed. All profits from the  “Connection” Cards will be used to support the living expenses of an 11-year-old girl who experienced sexual abuse.

In collaboration with TH Group, BAC A BANK, and other partners, VSF also broke ground on the construction and upgrading of 13 school restroom facilities in An Giang province, and provided thousands of school bags and uniforms, hundreds of scholarships, as well as TH true MILK and essential equipment to more than 5,900 disadvantaged school and university students in Nghe An, Lam Dong, Quang Tri, Phu Tho, Ninh Binh, Tuyen Quang, Son La, and Quang Ngai provinces. In addition, the fundraising campaign to provide semi-boarding meals for 264 ethnic minority students in Cao Bang reached 100% of its target before the new academic year. The students began receiving their meals when they returned to school on September 5.

As a member of the Education, Healthcare and Social Security Advisory Council of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi, Ms. Tran Hong Diep, Director of VSF, reviewed and provided comments on 6 policy dossiers and drafts at the central and Hanoi municipal levels. Her contributions were recognized and highly appreciated for their professional and practical value.

Starting in August, VSF officially launched the fundraising campaign of Mid-Autumn mooncake collection “Moonlit Path” to raise funds for community oriented activities.
