According to Vinasoy representative, school soy milk is Vinasoy's passion, wishing to contribute to improving the stature of the young generation with nutrition from plants.

Speaking at the program launch, Ms. Y Ngoc, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province, said that the "School Soymilk" program implemented by the Vietnam Red Cross and the Vietnam Soymilk Education Promotion Fund has affirmed its profound humanistic value, contributing to improving physical fitness and school health for students in many disadvantaged provinces.

"In Quang Ngai, the program provides valuable nutrition for students, especially in remote, isolated and extremely disadvantaged areas, helping them have conditions to study, play and develop more comprehensively," said Ms. Y Ngoc.

This year, the program also expanded the "Magical Beautiful Case" contest nationwide. This activity encourages students to recycle milk cartons into useful items, both educating environmental awareness and inspiring creativity from small actions.

Each box of Fami milk that reaches students not only contributes to improving their physical health, but also encourages them to go to school with more confidence. After a decade of perseverance, the journey of "School Soy Milk" continues to be written with the sharing of the community, with the trust and love sent to the eyes of children in remote areas.
