This school is situated in the furthest part of Nghe An, which requires taking a boat to the village. This area is extremely difficult, ranking as the most challenging in the largest district in the country as 86% of households live below poverty level. The school serves 118 students, all of whom come from impoverished backgrounds and belong to the ethnic groups of Thai and Khu Mo. In addition, the harsh winter conditions of Nghe An with its cold temperatures and strong winds have taken a toll on the existing school building, which is in a state of severe deterioration.

The cost of the new school is estimated at $26,985, which includes five classrooms, restrooms, concrete playground, and new classroom furniture. The parents and villagers will help clear the land.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Hang Tran for her generous donation of $15,000 to help rebuild this new school. As a member of LSF’s Board of Directors since our establishment in 2018, Ms. Tran commitment has been integral to improving the futures of generations to come. We are sincerely thankful for her unwavering support.
