Story

Empowering Vietnam's Future, One Pedal at a Time

We are embarking on a formidable journey: cycling 300 kilometers over three days through Vietnam's breathtaking landscapes. Our mission is clear and close to our hearts—to transform the lives of underprivileged children by supporting Saigon Children's Charity (saigonchildren).​

Just 1 Dinner Can Educate a Child for a Month!

Education is the most powerful way to break the cycle of poverty, yet so many children in Vietnam are denied this opportunity due to financial hardship. That’s where we - and you - come in.

$25: Provides a child with education for one month (maybe not even the cost of a single dinner out!).

$300: Ensures a child's education for an entire year.

Our goal? To sponsor a class of 20 children, raising $6,000 in total ($3,000 each). This isn’t just about education—it’s about changing entire communities, giving these children a future filled with hope and opportunity.

The Urgency

In these challenging times, charitable support becomes even more critical. Children and families facing hardships have limited places to turn, and it's up to us to extend a helping hand. Your donation, no matter the size, can have a profound and lasting impact on a child's life.​
