Project No. 41 – “LOAN Stiftung Scholarship for needy children” – because poverty should not lead to children having no access to education.

Status September, 2022:

After our personal visit from Germany to the poorest province of Vietnam (Ha Giang) – after almost three years restrictions due to corona – in September, 2022, we were able to get an up-to-date picture of the situation of many children there.

Since 2016, the LOAN Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) has, among other things, built many school facilities for the poorest children of ethnic minorities, set up small libraries with reading material suitable for children (Projects No. 10 and No. 38), orphanage aid programs (Project No. 5) and since 2019 also the “LOAN Stiftung Scholarship for Education” (Project No. 25). This scholarship is particularly suitable for children who are about to graduate from high school and/or would like to start studying, but who, due to their difficult background, cannot achieve this goal without financial help. After regular checking of their school results and the motivation they have brought, they will then receive our support for several years, if desired until they have completed their desired studies.

Since the introduction of this scholarship, we have noticed with the teaching staff that many more students are making efforts in learning in order to achieve their dream of a better future.

Though, we have also met children from lower school levels who are still too young to receive the scholarship mentioned above, who would otherwise meet our admission criteria (difficult family background; poor; very good school results). So we decided to set up the “LOAN Stiftung (Foundation) Scholarship for needy Children” for them as well. The amount of the scholarship is 5 million VND per year (approx. € 210.00).

1) No long-term sponsorships are offered for children in school grades 1 to 11, as their school development can change more.

2) For children in school grade 12 long-term sponsorships can be offered (if desired until the end of their studies). Should the child find a long-term sponsor, it will be deleted from Project No. 41 in order to be integrated into Project No. 25.

3) If one of the children is half-or full-orphaned, the school level will first be irrelevant. The child will be automatically assigned to Project No. 5 in the hope that we will find a sponsor for it. However, should the school results drop severely and/or the child no longer shows motivation, it will be removed from our program accordingly.

At the end of each school year, the situation of each child will be checked again.

The scholarships will be officially handed over directly to the children between October and November of the new school year. Pictures and videos will document the handovers.

We hope to find many supporters for this valuable project and thank you very much! 🙂
