Empowering children
Recently, Khanh Hoa Women’s Union in cooperation with Vietcombank Khanh Hoa offered 50 saving books totaling VND150 million to orphans in the province. Ho Cong Tuan, 14 years old, in Phuoc Thuan Village, Ninh Dong Commune, Ninh Hoa Town has just received a saving book. His mom died young of a disease. His dad remarried. Ho Cong Tuan has been living with his grandmother since a little child. His grandmother named Nguyen Thi Thang said, “The child has a hard life without the care of parents. I am old and weak without income. Thanks to the financial aid from his ants and uncles, he can continue his study. The saving book means so much to us in life.”

Different from Ho Cong Tuan, 7-year-old Mai Ngoc Lan in Tan Duc Dong, Van Luong Commune, Van Ninh District is a paternal orphan from a young age. The child is living with his sick mom. “I have unstable and low income. I am so grateful for the help and encouragement of all neighbors and financial aid from sponsors. I feel touched when receiving the saving book. I will try my best to work and save money for my child’s study,” said his mom.
