Thành Chung Kindergarten, Bắc Giang Province
Phồn Xương Commune, Yên Thế District
About the community
Phồn Xương is a semi-rural commune of 4,500 people, with an agricultural base and a small factory. The average annual family income is $1,150 U.S. dollars.
Helping the children succeed
The Thành Chung kindergarten draws children from four of the eight hamlets that make up the commune. The population is growing and the previous sub-standard facilities could not accommodate all of the kindergarten-aged children. Many more parents would like to send their children here including those who work at the factory across the road and must send their children elsewhere.
Funding & construction
In January 2016, the new VES kindergarten in Thành Chung hamlet opened. It has a two large kindergarten classroom block with washrooms. This allowed the 25 – 30 three year olds who used to study in a narrow crowded storage area to move into one of the two new classrooms, gave the other students more space and brought additional students into the school.
