The new phase will run from September 2025 to August 2030 in four communes: Phù Cát, Cát Tiến, Đề Gi and Hòa Hội, with a total non-refundable grant of 650 million VND (about USD 25,500).
Funding will maintain four “Ước Mơ” (Dream) classes, currently serving 92 children, to help them improve communication skills, strengthen independence and integrate into the community.
Under the agreement, the Gia Lai provincial Red Cross will develop detailed activity plans, manage expenditures, oversee implementation, and report on results.
It will also coordinate with volunteers, teachers and delegations of staff and students from Keio University.
On the donor side, Professor Umegaki and Dr. Vũ Lê Thảo Chi will lead planning, fundraising and resource provision to ensure the program’s effective operation.
Since its launch in 2012, the subproject has gone through four phases, delivering significant humanitarian benefits and providing integration opportunities for children affected by Agent Orange.
The continuation into phase five highlights the long-term partnership between Vietnamese organizations and international scientists and charitable groups.
