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?

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

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

Kha

Kha was born in 2020, and attends kindergarten in Hoi An. Kha's father passed away from cancer when Kha was very young. Currently, Kha lives with his older brother, two older sisters, and mother in a makeshift shack that is not solidly built; they still do not have a proper house. The family's already difficult situation has become even more challenging because the main breadwinner was the deceased father. Now, all the burden falls on the mother's shoulders.
