In November 2020 Ms. Ngoc Anh visited 20 students from the primary school Hòa Hiệp in Cần Giờ and the primary school Phạm Văn Chiêu in District 12, who applied for the Greenleaves scholarship program of the school year 2020-2021.

Ms. Ngoc Anh also visited the families at home. Most of them belong to the poor households classified by the state with income below the subsistence level. However, many children dream of a future as a teacher, doctor, police officer, etc.

Below is the list of children who have not yet found a sponsor. The photos are published here.


A scholarship for primary school student is 55€ per year. If you are interested in a sponsorship in order to support a child for a longer period of time, please send an email to info@givekidsadream. We will then send you detailed information about the child.
