Vietnam's Education Gap: The SDG4 Challenge

The Challenge:

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Access to upper secondary education in Vietnam declines sharply with national completion rates dropping to less than 60%.

The financial burden of tuition, uniforms, and books often prevent students in impoverished communes from continuing their education. This economic barrier limits potential and maintains the cycle of poverty.

Our Goal:

We are dedicated to increasing the completion rate of upper secondary education by providing essential support to students who face financial hardships.

See what we can do to help close the gap and increase completion rates.

Closing the Gap: A Two-Phase Approach

Our strategy focuses on both continuity for current students and careful expansion to reach more deserving children in the target communes.

Phase One: Existing Scholarship Continuation (2025–2028)

In April 2025, Tri Le personally funded scholarships for 22 students whose families struggled to cover the cost of upper secondary education. The Foundation will commit to supporting these students through the completion of their schooling, ensuring their success.

Phase Two: Scholarship Expansion

After the successful completion of Phase One, the Foundation will extend its scholarship program to more students within the four target communes. This strategic expansion will be crucial for making a significant, long-term impact on regional completion rates.

You can make an impact to help more students complete upper secondary education.

Whether through a financial gift or by volunteering your time, you can secure a student's future through education.

Our mission is to achieve the promise of quality education for all, aligning directly with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4. While primary education in Vietnam is nearly universal, the sharp drop-off in upper secondary completion leaves thousands of bright students behind.
