Hilton Hanoi Opera and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi support outstanding students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Specifically, Hilton Hanoi Opera Hotel and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi, in collaboration with Better Life Vietnam, will sponsor scholarships and organize specialized workshops on hotel management for five disadvantaged students. This is part of the Disadvantaged Youth Scholarship Program initiated and implemented by Better Life Vietnam, aiming to help academically gifted young people from disadvantaged backgrounds continue their education and participate in career guidance programs.

Andrew Nisbet (General Manager of Hilton Hanoi Opera, Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi) spoke at the ceremony.

“Partnering with Better Life Vietnam is one of Hilton Hanoi Opera and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi’s initiatives to fulfill Hilton’s commitment to reaching, training, and employing at least one million young people by 2019,” said Andrew Nisbet, General Manager of Hilton Hanoi Opera and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi. “With a mission to be the world’s most hospitable and welcoming hotel group, we place particular emphasis on connecting with community organizations and contributing to community building and development.”

“At BLV, we encourage the participation of students' families to jointly create a better future for our students,” affirmed Ms. Nguyen Minh Thinh, Founder of Better Life Vietnam. “Beyond just financial support, we interview and assess students' academic achievements and ask their families to design a livelihood model that suits their capabilities, helping them improve their income, such as raising chickens or growing vegetables, to ensure that their families have the resources for long-term development and can support the student's education after one year when the scholarship program ends. The scholarship program is also our way of giving hope and encouragement to students and their families to believe in a better future.”

Scholarship recipients are selected based on their family circumstances and academic achievements. In addition to tuition fees to continue their studies, students will receive career training in the hospitality industry this year, through field trips, practical experiences, and insights from professionals working at two Hilton hotels in Hanoi.

Agricultural products produced from the family livelihoods of scholarship recipients also have the opportunity to be inspected and considered by Hilton Hanoi Opera and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi for use as ingredients in dishes served at the hotel.
