With the positive engagement of the fund’s chapters in all 63 cities and provinces nationwide, most cleft lipped children received free surgery.
The humanitarian programme, which has been widely lauded, has also received positive support from many international organisations including Operation Smile, ESSO from the US , Vietnam Outreach from Australia and the nation’s International Women’s Club.
According to Hoang Van Tien, Director of the fund, 65 billion VND (2.94 million USD) will be mobilised in 2014 to implement programmes helping at least one million poor children and ensuring their fundamental human rights.
In 2013, the fund raised more than 62.7 billion VND, assisting about 1.5 million children with support for heart, eye and smile treatment and educational fees.

Babies' families are very happy.
Bringing smiles and happiness to children.
Humanitarian programs are really necessary and meaningful for the disadvantaged.
It needs more generosity and kindness for smiles always on the kids' lips.
Children are country's future.
I like and support for the aim of the programme that ensuring thier fuldamental human rights.
these programs should be carried out regularly in rural and mountainous areas to support the disadvantaged baby.
Vietnam is for a happy future generations.
I think there should be more humanitarian programs to help children,especially who has fatal disease.
Wish our dear children good health.
