At Bao Toan Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School (Bao Lac commune, Cao Bang province), the Touching Love Fund has just started a series of comprehensive support activities on education, nutrition and health at 9 primary and secondary schools in 5 provinces Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa and Quang Tri. The program takes place from August to early September 2026, expected to support 4,770 students in difficult circumstances before the 2026-2027 school year.
Through activities to support learning, nutrition, access to clean water and school health care, the program contributes to improving school conditions, reducing the burden at the beginning of the school year for disadvantaged families and raising community awareness about child health care in remote and isolated areas.
Joining hands to add luggage for children in difficult areas
In remote and isolated areas and ethnic minority areas, the conditions for children's learning and health care are still limited. Starting from that reality, the Touching Love Fund implements the program "Supporting Children to School 2026" with three pillars: Sowing Hope - Sowing Vitality - Sowing Future, aiming to support students facing learning, health and development opportunities difficulties.
Specifically, the Gieo Hy Vong Project donates school supplies and essential school supplies before the new school year. The Gieo Sức Sống Project supports nutrition through donating milk, micronutrients and installing water filtration systems at some schools lacking clean water sources. The Gieo Tuong Lai Project coordinates with hospitals to organize general health check-ups right at the school site, contributing to early detection of health problems for students with limited access to medical services.
On August 9, 2026, at Bao Toan Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School, the first stop of the journey, the Touching Love Fund presented nearly 300 gifts including backpacks, school supplies, nutritional milk and essential items to students. Students were also given general health check-ups, advice, medicine according to indications by a team of doctors from Hanoi Medical University Hospital and received a set of oral care gifts.
According to Dr. Tran Thanh Tung, Head of the medical team of Hanoi Medical University Hospital, health check-ups at the beginning of the year help detect early problems that may affect learning and living, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare. This activity contributes to creating more conditions for students to develop comprehensively.
Directly participating in the program in Cao Bang, Ms. Nguyen Van Linh, Vice Chairwoman of the Management Council of the Touching Love Fund shared: "As part of the key activities of the Touching Love Fund, the series of programs'Supporting children to school 2026' is built on three pillars: Sowing Hope, Sowing Vitality and Sowing Future, aiming to accompany children on the journey of learning, health care and long-term development. Cao Bang is the starting point of this year's journey and we expect practical support today to contribute to opening up more opportunities for children on the road ahead. In the coming time, the Fund will continue to coordinate with partners, especially leading hospitals to build comprehensive "support" programs and bring more practical values to children, especially children in remote and isolated areas.
After Cao Bang, the "Tiếp sức em đến trường 2026" journey will continue to 8 school sites in Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Tuyen Quang and Quang Tri. The program is implemented in coordination with local authorities, schools and companion units, aiming for a more complete school start season for students in difficult areas.
Spreading love, connecting the community with action
In addition to direct support at schools, the program also mobilizes the companionship of businesses, customers and the community to increase resources to support disadvantaged children before the new school year, with the companionship of pioneering sponsor Techcombank and member units in the Ecosystem.
In addition to resources from the Touching Love Fund and coordinating units, Techcombank customers can accompany through the Loving Booth on the Techcombank OneU application. Users can use U-Point or cash to exchange and contribute nutritional milk gifts for students in difficult areas, thereby turning the spirit of sharing into specific actions.
With the mission of connecting compassion with practical, transparent and sustainable charity activities, the Touching Love Fund aims to become the leading digital charity platform in Vietnam. Through "Supporting Children to School 2026", the Fund expects to continue to connect businesses, organizations, philanthropists and the community to take care of disadvantaged children, contributing to bringing a new school year that is more fulfilling.
