The project has a total value of more than VND 1.17 billion, of which VSF contributed VND 780 million, the remaining amount was covered by local counterpart resources. VSF also organized the groundbreaking ceremony for the semi-boarding kitchen at My Ly 1 Primary Semi-Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities in Nghe An province. This is an item under Phase 2 of the school facility upgrading project, following the VND 2.1 billion dormitory project previously inaugurated by VSF.
