Advocacy

Hanoi, 14 June – Today, Save the Children hosted a ‘National Reading Day’ in Hanoi to promote reading habits, enhance access and availability of reading materials for children, and advocate for supporting children in developing their foundational literacy and math skills. Children, including ethnic minority children from the provinces of Yen Bai and Quang Nam, parents, teachers, policy makers, and relevant stakeholders attended the event.

Save the Children was awarded a Certificate of Merits by Da Nang People’s Committee for its valuable contribution to the city’s social development last Friday.

Da Nang is a coastal city in the central of Vietnam which is also in the disaster-prone areas of the country. In the last decade, Da Nang has made an impressive progress in term of economic development and has become a fastest economic and urban growth city in Vietnam.

Vietnam has gained a huge achievement in letting mothers stay at home 6 months after delivery for exclusive breastfeeding.
