Alongside activities organized by authorities and local organizations, Women’s Unions at all levels have intensified efforts to mobilize social resources and build lasting support systems aimed at improving educational opportunities and future prospects for children facing hardship.
One beneficiary is Trần Nguyễn Trà My, 12, from Phổ Trạch hamlet in Tuy Phước commune. Following the death of her father in late 2025, her family has struggled financially. Her mother, a garment worker raising three children, is recovering from tumor surgery and also suffers from hypokalemia, further worsening the family’s circumstances.
Through the “Adoptive Mother” model, the Tuy Phước Commune Women’s Union, in coordination with the Immigration Management Division of the Provincial Police, has committed to providing Trà My with a monthly allowance of 500,000 VND (about US$19). She has also received a savings book worth 15 million VND (about US$573) and 3 million VND (about US$115) in cash to help the family address immediate needs.
“I am very happy to be sponsored by the ladies. I will try my best to study well, obey my mother, and help take care of my siblings so my mother won’t have to work so hard”, Trà My said.
According to Trương Thị Mỹ Dung, Chairwoman of the Tuy Phước Commune Women’s Union, connecting Trà My with a sponsor not only eases immediate financial pressure but also encourages her to continue pursuing her education and aspirations.
Similar support has been extended in Lơ Pang commune, where the local Women’s Union has sponsored Thêm, an eight-year-old orphan from Ar Tơ Măn village. After losing his parents in a traffic accident, he has been living with his grandparents under difficult economic conditions.
The Lơ Pang Commune Women’s Union provides regular financial support of 2 million VND per quarter (about US$76), while also mobilizing additional resources for clothing and school supplies. The organization is coordinating with relevant agencies to secure benefits available to orphans and has committed to accompanying the child until he completes high school.
In Canh Liên commune, four-year-old Đinh Thị Hương from Kà Nâu village, who was orphaned at a young age and comes from a disadvantaged family, has also been placed under the sponsorship of the local Women’s Union. She receives 500,000 VND per quarter (about US$19), alongside regular visits, encouragement, and additional essential supplies.
Beyond long-term sponsorship efforts, Women’s Unions across the province have organized a range of grassroots activities during the Action Month for Children.
In Quy Nhơn Bắc ward, local union members visited and presented gifts to six sponsored children. In Hoài Nhơn Bắc ward, gifts and support were provided to children with disabilities, orphans, and those living in difficult circumstances.
The spirit of community care was also highlighted at a gathering organized by the “Adoptive Mother” Club in Thống Nhất ward for 25 orphaned children facing hardship. Through contributions from members and benefactors, each child received a gift worth 400,000 VND (about US$15).
“What we hope to bring is not just a gift, but also for the children to feel the care, love, and companionship of the community,” said Vũ Thị Sim, Chairwoman of the Thống Nhất Ward Women’s Union and Head of the “Adoptive Mother” Club.
In addition to financial assistance, many Women’s Unions have organized educational and recreational programs designed to support children’s overall development.
More than 600 children in Ia Lang village, Hội Phú ward, recently participated in the “International Children’s Day - Equipping Children with Life Skills” program, jointly organized by the Hội Phú Ward Women’s Union, the Women’s Union of Detention Center No. 1, and the Women’s Union of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Division.
The event combined entertainment with practical lessons on accident prevention, drowning prevention, personal data protection, and other essential life skills. Through interactive and experiential activities, organizers sought to create a safer environment for children while promoting their comprehensive development and well-being.
