The fund will cover surgery for 4,000 disabled children, grant 3,000 scholarships to children from poor families, and build a number of kindergartens, entertainment sites for children and clean water projects. The fund will also provide emergency aid to children in natural disaster-hit areas.

Last year, the fund allocated more than VND29 billion (US$1.8 million), to support 50,000 disabled children.

In addition, the fund's chapters nationwide collected some VND100 billion (US$6.25 million) to help nearly 2 million children with special needs and effectively carry out projects at the community level under the National Action Plan for Children in the 2001-2005 period.
