The Boy From the Poorest House in the Village Built His Parents a New One

Loi in 2008, around the time he received the scholarship

Loi grew up in the most run-down house in his hamlet, one of four siblings his parents were determined to send to university. A scholarship from our partner kept him in school through years his family could barely afford it. Today he’s an engineer who has built his own career, and a new home for his parents.

N will always be smiling against all odds

Left largely on her own as a child, N discovered a gift for hairdressing through a scholarship from our partner Saigon Children’s Charity. Now working at a Ho Chi Minh City spa and living independently, she greets every client with the smile she chooses against all odds.
