Water tastes sweet at school

By Wen Hung | Project Leader

Schoolchildren love to drink water.

“Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and, therefore, a basic human right. A water supply is an essential requirement for people and everyone needs water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Polluted water may not only look dirty, but contains bacteria and viruses that can cause illness or even death. Most of us are facing Vietnam's water challenges and we are eagerly looking forward to changing the water condition at our school. We are grateful for the support we have received from you through GlobalGiving project. Most of children said that water tastes sweet at school and we are happy to meet their basic need and right. We thank you for your protection and care over our children in Vietnam.”

- Message from a school affairs administrative staff at An Binh Secondary School

Safe Drinking Water is Essential

Thank you for your constant encouragement. We are pleased to propose our project to offer our services for schoolchildren in Vietnam. However, the scope of services is limited and we need more donation and support from the public in order to move forward and benefit more children. As we all know water is obviously essential for everyone and we can't get away from using water on a daily basis, for a number of different purposes. We hope to have a healthy future environment to children in Vietnam and protect their right to access to safe drinking water as essential.

With gratitude,

Wen Hung

Save money & reduce the environmental impact!

By Wen Hung | Project Leader

Drinking from plastic water bottles in the past

“Due to our water problem, bottled water is a convenient solution in Vietnam because we knew that drinking safe water is a prerequisite for reducing the spread of water-borne diseases. We usually purchased many plastic water bottles in our school. Now we could reduce plastic water bottles and have direct environmental and financial benefits.

I would like to take the time to thank you and the foundation for providing the funding and setting for water purifier system and making it possible to drink clean and safe water in our school. You are giving a significant impact to all people in our school. Thank you!”

Positive change in schools

Since 2017, TFCF Vietnam has decided to propose a GlobalGiving clean water project for schools in Vinh Long Province and delivered two sets of Water Purifier Systems for two schools finally. I really appreciate all the efforts people put in to making that happen.

Even donations gradually declined during the period of economic distress, we know that we could overcome the challenge together with you and keep seeking the best welfare for children and families in need. Please invite more people like you and support our project as much as you could. Clean and safe water must be provided for more children and schools in Vietnam. However, we failed to do more due to limited resources. We are unable to accomplish it alone without you. Let’s work together to make all positive changes in Vietnam.

With gratitude,

Wen Hung

Clean water arrival~

By Wen Hung | Project Leader

Water purifier system

“Water problem is one of serious issues in Vietnam. We know that safe water is very important to children, however, we are unable to have a total solution and resolve this problem by schools due to our financial limitations.

We were immensely grateful for your help! I still remember that when the school announced this good news to all of teachers and students, everyone was so happy and looked forward it. Finally, the water purifier system is ready to use and most of children enjoy drinking water a lot at school. We hereby express our sincere acknowledgement to the donors, GlobalGiving and TFCF Vietnam for your great supports to our students.”

System maintenance

In order to offer clean water to children as soon as we could, we did keep our schedule to deliver the Water Purifier System on time. However, we still monitor and inspect the system periodically. We work with schools and vendors to improve the system continually, such as pipe connection problem. We’ve learned that the system maintenance is also important to ensure the quality of drinking water.

The cost of clean water

With limited resources on hands, we now could only provide water purifier systems for two schools even we know that there are still many schools waiting for water purifier systems. I would like to invite you to join us and share the project information to more people you know. Let’s work together to benefit more children and provide them the basic needs of clean water. It’s great to see we have moved a bit forward and we are going to make more impact on children with you together. Thank you for being with us in Vietnam!

With gratitude,

Wen Hung
