Last month, I traveled nearly 8,000 miles to Ninh Thuan Province, a rural region in Vietnam’s south central coast, and one of the most disadvantaged areas in the country.
The stunning coastline of Ninh Thuan Province is a stark contrast to the barren, hard-to-reach hillsides and dilapidated wooden homes inland, where most people live, enduring the daily struggles that come with extreme poverty. These struggles include lack of access to quality health care and education; food insecurity caused by climate change; lack of clean water and sanitation; and an overall absence of opportunities.
I spent four days in this region with UNICEF, meeting children and families affected by some of these struggles, and getting an insight into what is being done to tackle the inequities that some of the country’s most disadvantaged children face.

Am touched by the story , thinking how we can give little happiness
I am from Vietnam but I am living in a city. In our country, the children who are living on mountains and plateaus such as Tay Nguyen plateau have lots of lack. They can not go to school because no school here, can not have a great health because they don’t have clean water. They also have many problems about their health. So, I hope that UNICEF will support and raise the children’s living quality here help they have a chance to go to school and have a great health. Thanks!
