Plan International in Vietnam will provide $3.2 million in support of poor children in the Central Highland province of Kon Tum in the next five years (2011-2016).

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed by the Kon Tum provincial People’s Committee and the organisation in Kon Tum city on January 10.

This is a follow up to the project to improve living conditions for poor children in the locality. 

The organisation will help raise awareness of children who are poor or disadvantaged of their rights and potential, especially in meeting basic needs, while improving necessary skills. 

Over the past 15 years, Kon Tum province has received $25 million in non-refundable aid through 197 projects from 38 organisations of 14 countries and territories.

Most of the projects focus on education, health care, social welfare and rural infrastructure in disadvantaged localities.
