At the meeting, Director of Hanoi Children’s Fund Le Thanh Vinh said, in the past six years, the Fund has received the support from numerous organizations, domestic and foreign enterprises.
During the period, the Fund presented gifts to impoverished children, children with disabilities and orphans during Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, Mid-Autumn festival and International Children Day (June 1), organized activities of medical care and worked with local hospitals to give free surgeries to poor children who were born with heart and eye defects, harelips and cleft palates.
Local children, especially those from difficult backgrounds, were given to better care through various childcare and scholarship projects aided by the Fund.
Especially, it raised over 8 billion VND (about 356,000 USD) in the first nine months of the year, including 2 billion VND in cash (89,000 USD), reaching 94.4 % of the yearly plan, up 1.9 billion VND over the same period.
The Fund targets to raise 10 billion VND in 2016, up 1.5 billion VND against 2015.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Van Suu stressed that the childcare is one of key tasks and the traditional beauty of the city.
The Vice Chairman also talked about difficulties to maintain the funding, which is mostly contributed by private donors and businesses.
Vice Chairman Suu urged the Fund managers to coordinate with relevant city bodies and press agencies to ramp up fundraising activities and communication campaigns to better promote them among the public.
