With this meaningful goal, since 2024, the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Preservation Support Fund and the Vietnamese Ao Dai Heritage Club have presented Ao Dai to female teachers and students in high schools and secondary schools in disadvantaged, remote, and mountainous areas. Through this program, the organizers hope to spread the love for the nation's cultural heritage values to the younger generation.
