Dong Nai mobilizes resources to care for children in special, difficult circumstances

The Dong Nai City Child Protection Fund Council has recently issued an open letter calling for contributions to the City Child Protection Fund (CPF) in 2026.

Representatives of the city's Social Work and Child Protection Fund Center and a partner organization present scholarships to disadvantaged children in Bien Hoa Ward.

According to the City CPF Council, the fund has received continued support from agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals both inside and outside the city in recent years, reflecting a shared commitment to caring for children. Since 2025, the fund has received more than VND2.4 billion in contributions from organizations and individuals, along with VND421 million in direct support for children at donors' request.

Using these funds, the City CPF has provided care and assistance to more than 16,400 children through activities such as providing support on International Children’s Day, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year; heart surgery and treatment for serious illnesses; emergency assistance for children injured in accidents; and the provision of scholarships, bicycles and gifts.

However, the city is still home to 657 orphaned, abandoned and unsupported children, along with many children from poor and near-poor households, children with disabilities, children living in remote and isolated areas and many others at risk of falling into special circumstances. These children urgently need attention, care and support from the community so that they can continue their education and have opportunities to develop.

The City CPF Council, therefore, calls on agencies, organizations, businesses, philanthropists and people across the city to continue supporting and contributing to the fund. Every contribution, large or small, can give children in special or difficult circumstances opportunities to study, access healthcare and develop comprehensively, helping them become productive members of society.

Contributions can be made to the City Child Protection Fund’s account No. 5900211011224 at the Agribank Dong Nai Branch, or delivered directly to the Dong Nai City Center for Social Work and Child Protection Fund at No. 135, Street 518, Tam Hiep Ward. Telephone: 02513.892.185.

The City CPF Council has pledged to receive, manage and use all donated funds and in-kind contributions for their intended purposes and beneficiaries in an open, transparent and effective manner and in accordance with the law, ensuring that every contribution from organizations and individuals reaches children in need.
