Save the Children is honoured to receive grants from the Japanese government for the 4th time to support the development of ethnic minority communities with the project "Improving livelihood of ethnic minorities living in Son La province through agriculture and nutrition improvement” (JMOFA). The project’s MOU signing ceremony was held on March 10, 2023 in Hanoi together with 9 other projects within the framework of the Japanese Government's Grant Assistance program.

 

 

At the event, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam YAMADA Takio shared: “The Save the Children's project is essential to contribute to improving the lives of ethnic minority communities in Vietnam. Through the Grant Assistance program, the Japanese Government hopes to further promote practical cooperation, touching the hearts of the two countries’ people."

 

 

The JMOFA project is expected to be implemented in the period of 2023 - 2026, aiming to support 6,000 ethnic people, including nearly 4,000 children under 5 years of age and their parents, as well as improve the capacity of local partners to continue to support the community to improve livelihoods and nutrition even after the life of the grant.
