Education Sponsorship

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

Help us change the world of Vietnam’s children!

       

In central Vietnam’s Quang Nam province, access to education can be severely limited because families are responsible for the total cost of sending their child to school.  With most families living on less than $2 per day, the costs of school fees and supplies are a large financial burden for the families resulting in children to stop attending classes.  In addition, Vietnam requires that children attend additional classes during the school year in order to keep up with the curriculum.

CHIA Educational Sponsorship

We believe that education is the stepping stone to success and provides a path out of poverty.  Our educational sponsorship program gives the opportunity to disadvantaged children from the poorest families to receive a complete education.

Sponsorship Breakdown

  • monthly school fees
  • basic school supplies (books and pencils)
  • school and sports uniform, including socks and shoes
  • insurance
  • transportation costs (a bicycle when required)
  • additional support classes, as needed

In a family of multiple children, even to have one child sponsored makes a huge difference financially but also mentally for the parents.

How much does it cost to sponsor a child?

Grade 1-12 sponsorship:                                  $570USD /year
Tertiary/University Sponsorship:                     $1200USD /year
*Kindergarten Sponsorship:                            $570USD /year

*In Vietnam, kindergarten is not subsidized by the government, which is why sponsorship fees are substantially higher than grade school.

Below are a just a few of the children who can be sponsored through CHIA with your help!

Khang and Truong are the 13 years old twins who are in 7th grade. Their parents got divorce 2 years ago so the mother has to take care of them. Khang also underwent Cardiac surgery when he was two. The mother is working as a local worker with a low income; that’s why it’s quite hard for her to cover all their living cost, especially school fees for her children.
