Phu Nong and the Story of “Connection”

Sharing about the program, Mr. Hoang Duc Thuan – Business Director of Phu Nong Co., Ltd. – emphasized that over 19 years of establishment and development, the company has committed to serving agriculture with high-quality products. Alongside business operations, Phu Nong also prioritizes social welfare activities that connect communities.

Notable initiatives include various meaningful charitable programs: donating homes to disadvantaged families, providing school supplies to schools in Tien Giang, Tra Vinh, and Can Tho, and supporting the “Loving Spring” Fund of Hau Giang Radio and Television Station.

Starting in January 2025, the “Phu Nong Connection” journey will be relaunched, aiming to support underprivileged students on their path to a brighter future through the humanitarian scholarship program “My Dream – Phu Nong – Making a Difference.”

Timely Support for a Resilient Student

The first recipient of the program is Tran Vu Kha, a 12A6 student at Thot Not High School, Thot Not District, Can Tho City. Orphaned since third grade, with no home of his own, his only shelter has been the local center for the elderly and homeless children. His only remaining family member is his nearly 70-year-old grandmother, who suffers from multiple health issues.

Despite these hardships, Vu Kha has continually proven himself to be a determined student, fueled by his burning passion and dream of becoming a physical education teacher.

To support Vu Kha, the “My Dream – Phu Nong – Making a Difference” scholarship program awarded him a primary scholarship worth 10,000,000 VND, along with two additional scholarships from partner brands: Trobinplus 400SC, a specialized treatment for rice diseases, and AntiOne 200SC, a treatment for bacterial leaf blight, each worth 2,000,000 VND.
