Story

The difference an educated child can make to his or her community by breaking the cycle of poverty is immense.  Imagine the difference we can make, every US$300 (VND7,000,000) raised pays for one child's education for one year. Just US$25 (VND600,000) takes a child off the streets and into school for a month.  No amount is too small, the difference your donation can make for the children we support has a lifelong impact. 

Think about that, children who would otherwise miss their education and the opportunities this creates for them and their families. Help us keep them in school!

I will be riding 300km over 3 days from Son Tay (near Hanoi) to Mai Chau and Pu Luong at the of March 2023.  Whilst the scenery is stunning, it will be an exhausting and painful 300km ride with steep climbs.  So please sponsor us onwards and upwards over the mountains.  Help me help these children.  

Please skip a meal out this week and use that money to sponsor us.  You can donate by credit card here. An alternate method direct to the charity is detailed below.

All the money raised goes to the Saigon Children’s Charity and funds education (scholarships and schools) for underprivileged children.  Saigon Children has helped over 300,000 children attend school and built 211 schools in ten provinces across Vietnam. It is a reputable charity celebrating 30 years in Vietnam in 2022, which I have known personally since 1997.
