Established since 2008, this year, the fund targets to distribute more than 1.5 million servings of milk worth VND10 billion to over 17,000 children across 22 provinces and cities, bringing the total number of servings of milk distributed over the past 10 years to over 33 million, worth nearly VND140 billion and benefiting nearly 420,000 disadvantaged children.
There remain a large number of disadvantaged children who do not have adequate nutrition. The Stand Tall Vietnam Milk Fund helps improve children’s physical and intellectual health, while it contributes to raising social awareness on the children’s development.
Apart from the fund, Vinamilk has launched the school milk program since 2007, assisting 700,000 pre-school and primary school pupils with nearly 60,000 boxes of milk worth over VND140 billion./.
