The year 2024 has been a remarkable period for WVI, as the organization has made significant contributions to supporting and accompanying Vietnamese children, families, and vulnerable communities across the country. WVI places Vietnamese children at the center of its priorities in all of its local interventions.
Doseba Tua Sinay has traveled to impoverished rural areas of Viet Nam, where WVI implements projects on Health and Nutrition, Livelihoods, Child Protection, and Child Participation. What impresses him the most are the bright smiles of the children he meets.
When Typhoon Yagi struck Viet Nam, he and his colleagues at WVI took a strategic approach to emergency response, providing direct support to affected regions such as Dien Bien, Yen Bai, Hai Phong, and Thanh Hoa. Despite the hardships and risks, he visited disadvantaged households to connect with and support them.
In these communities, Vietnamese children welcomed him with warmth, treating him like a beloved grandfather or uncle. Deeply moved by their affection, he expressed, “Supporting children is never enough. What truly matters after a storm is ensuring that Vietnamese children and students have safe opportunities to return to school.”

During a visit to Yen Bai province, Doseba Tua Sinay was warmly received by local residents, who deeply appreciated his sincerity and dedication to their well-being.
