Three chapters of a journey

The story behind the numbers

Every milestone is an act of kindness extended through perseverance and transparency.

Chapter I
2020

Origins in the Central Vietnam Floods

The historic floods of 2020 submerged Central Vietnam. A group of young people — who had studied or worked far from home before returning to build their livelihoods — pooled resources and travelled directly to the worst-hit areas to distribute relief supplies.

When the waters receded, what remained was not only damaged rooftops, but the eyes of children who had suddenly lost their parents. From that concern, the idea of a long-term sponsorship fund was born — not stopping at short-term relief, but walking alongside every child all the way to adulthood. In December 2020, the first 17 children were accepted into the programme.

Chapter II
2021 — 2022

Building a Transparent Organisation

To ensure every donation reached the right place and the right person, the Fund quickly strengthened its structure. Early in 2021, five functional departments — Executive, Approval, Communications, Secretary, and Finance — were established in turn, laying the foundation for the principles of transparency and integrity.

In 2022, dedicated Secretary and Communications staff were added. The sponsorship network grew from 17 to 227 children in just two years — a testament to the community's trust in the Fund's transparency.

Chapter III
2023 — present

Transforming into a Social Enterprise

June 2023 marked a turning point: the Fund officially transitioned from a volunteer group to a Social Enterprise model, establishing Tony Buoi Sang Foundation JSC, launching a new brand identity, and creating the Operations Department.

The new model enables more sustainable funding — a portion of business profits is channelled regularly into the shared fund. To date, the Fund has accompanied 427 children across 35 provinces, with 127 having grown up and completed the full journey with the Fund.
