Giving gifts to poor students in Quang Ngai province on October 15

From 2016 to now, after 8 years of accompanying poor students in remote areas of the country, the "School Soymilk" program implemented by the Vietnam Soymilk Education Promotion Fund and Vinasoy has given nearly 12.6 million boxes of Fami soymilk to more than 886,000 students of 1,580 schools in 19 remote provinces of the country. The total value of support is more than 45.1 billion VND.

Ms. Bui Thi Hoa, President of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society, spoke at the opening ceremony of the "School Soymilk" program.

In the 2000s, with funding from the US Department of Agriculture and a cooperation agreement with the American Red Cross through the governing body of the Vietnam Red Cross Central Committee (VNRC), Vinasoy was designated as the sole supplier of Fami soy milk for the school milk project in Vietnam.

Accordingly, Vinasoy has had a long-term cooperation with the Vietnam Red Cross to bring healthy nutrition from nature to the community, especially to poor students over the past years.

Giving more than 755,000 boxes of soy milk to primary school students

In the 2024-2025 school year, the "School Soymilk" program will give more than 755,000 boxes of Fami soymilk (nearly 3.4 billion VND) to primary school students in Quang Ngai, Lao Cai and Yen Bai provinces. In Quang Ngai province alone, the program will provide 264,840 boxes of soymilk (worth more than 1.2 billion VND) to 10 primary schools in two mountainous districts, Tra Bong and Son Tay.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Tuan, Standing Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee, said that the effective operation of the Vietnam Soy Milk Scholarship Fund has contributed to improving the health of Vietnamese students, especially primary school students. This program has great humanitarian and social significance.

"Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee hopes to receive long-term support from the Vietnam Soy Milk Education Promotion Fund in the "School Soy Milk" program and other social security activities in the following years," said Mr. Tuan.
