The new kindergarten brings the total number of Cargill Cares Schools in Vietnam to 58.
The Phu Hoa Kindergarten valued at US$65,000 will benefit 200 students from low-income families whose lives Cargill hopes to enrich through early childhood education. Fitted with three classrooms, a staff room, utilities and a kitchen, the children will be taught basic skills like reading, spelling and counting, and engage in group activities.
Cargill has a long-term goal to build 75 such schools in Vietnam by 2015 to educate some 17,000 students.
Chanh Truong, country head of Cargill Vietnam, said: “Cargill Cares Schools demonstrates our pledge to investing in the education of these rural children who are the key to the future. We will continue to work with Cargill employees, and Cargill Cares Councils to implement our educational initiatives in rural Vietnam.”
