Building Back Stronger: Niteco's Aid for Highland Schools After Yagi Storm

Niteco has undertaken a heartwarming initiative to support students at San Lung Day Boarding School, part of Ban Vuoc Primary School, Lao Cai Province, in recovering from the devastating impact of Typhoon Yagi.
Last week, a dedicated team of NICEF volunteers embarked on a journey to San Lung Day Boarding School to deliver essential supplies. These included:

• Facility Repair Support: A generous allocation of 36 million VND was provided to assist the school in repairing and replenishing boarding equipment damaged by the storm. This ensured that students could continue their education and daily activities in a safe and conducive environment.
• Nutritional Support: To ensure that 84 students received nutritious meals from October 2024 to May 2025 for the next eight months. NICEF will sponsor 3 meals a day for them, starting in October with a donation of over 22.5 million VND. This vital support played a crucial role in promoting their overall well-being and academic performance. The total sponsorship for this category is approximately 200 million VND (to the end of May 2025).
• Essential Supplies: Niteco employees wholeheartedly contributed used clothing, school supplies, and other necessary items, providing students with warmth and comfort during their recover

San Lung Day Boarding School is home to 83 students from ethnic minority families facing economic hardship. The region was severely impacted by Typhoon Yagi, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of its residents, especially the young students. Niteco's compassionate initiative provided much-needed assistance to highland students and exemplified the spirit of solidarity and community support. This meaningful endeavour empowered students to overcome adversity and continue their educational journey.

Ms. Hau – President of NICEF expressed, "We hope that these contributions will help students overcome the challenges posed by the storm and create a more favourable environment for their studies. Niteco is committed to supporting our community, especially those facing hardships."
