The support programs include the “Supporting children to go to school” program and the model of “Border guards' adopted children.”
Launched in 2016, the “Supporting children to go to school” program has assisted 3,000 needy students in border and remote areas.
Each student receives VND 500,000 per month until they graduate from high schools.
In addition, the VBG held other activities to encourage needy students to overcome hardships and achieve good academic results.
Also, border guard units are taking care of 355 disadvantaged students.
