The plan was revealed by Cargill Vietnam at a charity event called Cargill Care Festival held in Ho Chi Minh City on August 15.
According to Truong Van Chanh, Chief Representative of Cargill in Vietnam, the two new schools will be constructed in the southern province of Dong Nai and the northern province of Ha Nam, raising the number of schools the company has built for disadvantaged students in the country’s remote areas to 75.
So far, the Cargill Vietnam-built schools have benefited around 15,000 students nationwide, he said.
The charity event raised VND5.4 billion from participants and Cargill Vietnam staff, increasing the Cargill Care fund in 2015 to VND13.4 billion (US$623,000).
