“At BLV, we encourage the participation of students’ families to create a better future for students,” affirmed Ms. Nguyen Minh Thinh, Founder of Better Life Vietnam. “We do not stop at providing financial support, we interview and check students’ academic achievements and ask students’ families to design a livelihood model that is suitable to their family’s ability, helping them improve their income, such as raising chickens and growing vegetables, to ensure that their families have the conditions to develop in the long term, and can support students’ education after one year when the scholarship program ends. The scholarship program is also our spiritual gift to add hope and encourage students and their families to believe in a better future for them and their families.”
