About Us
We are 5 students in 12th grade at the French International School of Marguerite Duras in HCM. We’ve created Uni4All in order to support disadvantaged students from Vietnam to gain access to Ho Chi Minh universities by providing them with the required financial support.
​
To do so, we are partnering with Enfants d’Asie, a French organization whose aim is to support disadvantaged children in South East Asia towards a better future. They will support us for the selection of the students in need as well as the fund’s management/distribution.
Our idea
Having been born here, and having lived here for some time, we’d like to give back to the community before we leave Vietnam to pursue higher education: what we’d like to do is raise funds so that precarious Vietnamese students, who normally wouldn’t have the same opportunity as we do, can graduate from a university.
​
​
What we’re hoping for is being able to fund at least one student’s studies so that they can go to university and graduate, the same way we’re leaving this year to study abroad.
The idea would be to try and set an event up this year, so that next year’s 11th and 12th graders can continue this project and sponsor several more students.
​
We would like to organize a challenge to help us collect funds for this cause.
Why help us?
Each year, even in Ho Chi Minh City, numerous Vietnamese students cannot go to university because of poverty. As such, talented kids miss out on a better future and have to find a job and support their parents.
​
Enfants d’Asie in association with HACRP organization (Ho Chi Minh association for Child’s rights protection) and WOCA (Women’s charity association of Ho Chi Minh) already started to sponsor some of these kids to give them the opportunity to study at some High Schools.
​
Their program only attending the scholarship of these kids until Grade 12.
Our aim is to give at least one of them the opportunity to access to University by supporting them for a Bachelor 4 years program:
-
University fees: 25 million vnd/year on average
-
Learning materials and equipment: 3 million vnd/year
-
Transportation cost: 12 million vnd/year (3 million per month x 10 months)
The estimated funding necessary for 1 student per year is 40 million vnd, hence a 4 year-study cost can be estimated to 160 million vnd per student.
By sponsoring us and partnering with us, you can change the life of 1 student as a minimum and give him the chance of getting higher education and a better job in the future.
How we’d like to raise funds: Our Funding Structure
We will be organizing a sports challenge on the 15th and 16th October 2022 and seeking donations.
​
We are seeking funds from:
-
Individuals within the expat community
-
Students from our school as well as their families
-
Companies who would like to sponsor us
We will collect donations from individuals and sponsorships from companies by asking donators to fund each kilometer we will complete:
​
120km biking + 5km hiking = 125 km to complete by each of the 4 team members = a total of 500 km = 760 School days
​
We will then try to find: 1 day of University for 1 Student sponsored = 0.65km completed by us
Our goal is to reach a total of 190 million VND
