In the heart of Vietnam, FedEx is working to impact the lives of young learners through its “Bring Smiles to the Hearts” program. Now in its sixth year collaborating with local non-profit VinaCapital Foundation (VCF), this year’s initiative focuses on refurbishing rundown schools and providing children with safe, engaging environments for learning and growth. This mission gained urgency following Typhoon Yagi's devastation in September 2024, which left many schools in Northern Vietnam in ruins.

The collaboration between FedEx and VCF highlights the power of partnership in addressing social issues. VCF, dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children in Vietnam, shares FedEx’s vision of enhancing educational opportunities. Together, they have launched two projects aimed at revitalizing Hoa Mai Kindergarten in Tra Vinh (Mekong Delta) and Gia Sang Kindergarten in Thai Nguyen (Northern Vietnam).

Typhoon Yagi’s impact was catastrophic, with over 800 schools across 26 provinces suffering severe structural damage, leaving more than two million children without a place to learn [source]. Recognizing the urgent need for action, FedEx and VCF mobilized resources to refurbish Gia Sang Kindergarten by repairing classrooms and creating safe playgrounds.

“At FedEx, we believe that every child deserves access to a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive,” said Ms. Ee-Hui Tan, Managing Director of FedEx Vietnam and Cambodia. “This project goes beyond physical improvements; it is about creating a sense of belonging and pride for the children, parents, and teachers. ”

This initiative aims to restore normalcy and hope for children who have faced significant challenges. Each renovated classroom is equipped with new furniture and learning materials while playgrounds are transformed into vibrant spaces for play.

Ms. Tran Ngoc Trang, Vice Chairman of the Association for the Protection of People with Disabilities and Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin in Tra Vinh Province said: “This program can help enhance the quality education that meets the needs of children in acquiring knowledge and fostering creativity. ”

Ms. Ha Thi Don, Principal of Hoa Mai Kindergarten expressed her gratitude: “Thanks to the support from FedEx and VCF our kindergarten has undergone a remarkable transformation.”

The impact of the “Bring Smiles to the Hearts” program extends beyond physical rebuilding; it revitalizes spirits within communities as well. As children return to their refurbished classrooms filled with joy and excitement this initiative becomes a symbol of hope demonstrating that support compassion can lead to positive change even amidst adversity.

FedEx employees in Vietnam have played an integral role volunteering their time alongside local communities fostering strong connections between themselves those they are helping enriching both parties involved as they witness direct impacts contributions make together.
