HSBC Vietnam is
calling for submissions from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) seeking
funding from the Bank’s flagship Future First program to help needy children
and young people nationwide, the bank announced in a statement.
Launched in 2007 in Vietnam, the program is dedicated to providing
education and life skills for street children, orphans and children in care, as
well as vocational training for underprivileged young people in Vietnam.
More than VND11 billion in direct funding has been provided by Future
First to help support 20 projects and benefit 44,168 children.
The key focus areas for Future First projects are formal education;
basic early childhood, primary and secondary education; informal education; and
vocational training to give individuals the capability, resources and
opportunity to pursue their personal and household economic goals.
Needs-based counseling is another important component. Educational
projects will benefit children under 18, while life skills and vocational
training projects will target youths aged 15-24.
This year, Future First will sponsor one-year projects with the
US$50,000 maximum funding amount for each project.
Tenders for projects should be submitted by April 6. HSBC will announce
and release funding to successful applicants by the end of July.
