Light Charity's aspiration is to make Vietnam a better place to live. To achieve this, Light Charity has been carrying out truly meaningful projects every day.<\/p>\n

\nLight Charity members organize clothing sales to raise funds for children with leukemia<\/p>\n

This nonprofit organization was founded by T\u1ea1 Minh Tu\u1ea5n \u2014 Chairman of TMT Group, founder of YUP Education, and Forbes 30 Under 30 ASIA honoree \u2014 and his student H\u1ed3 \u0110\u1ee9c H\u1ea3i, CEO of M\u00e1 H\u1ea3i Group.<\/p>\n

Bringing More \u201cLight\u201d<\/h3>\n

Light Charity means \u201ccharity of light,\u201d so the organization's slogan is \u201cbecome the light.\u201d According to Tu\u1ea5n, the name was chosen because light illuminates things and makes them clear. Light Charity was established with the aim of bringing transparency to charity in Vietnam. At the same time, light also makes society and the world better. \u201cThrough charity, we hope to bring more light into society and help make Vietnam a better place to live,\u201d Tu\u1ea5n said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLight is also something people turn toward from birth. Light Charity's ideal is expressed in its name,\u201d Tu\u1ea5n added.<\/p>\n

Tu\u1ea5n recalled visiting Bu\u00f4n Ma Thu\u1ed9t City, \u0110\u1eafk L\u1eafk, in early 2018. Seeing life there, he wanted to find a way to help local children. He subsequently became the sponsor covering all monthly blood transfusion and treatment costs for 4 children with leukemia in \u0110\u1eafk D\u2019r\u00f4ng, \u0110\u1eafk N\u00f4ng.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old then met his student H\u1ed3 \u0110\u1ee9c H\u1ea3i, and together they resolved to approach charity professionally. Teacher and student recognized that far too many people needed help and were not receiving it. Meanwhile, many people wanted to give but could not reach the right recipients, or lacked trust, peace of mind, and transparency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to build an organization, a system connecting charitable giving and receiving. Then expand it into local communities throughout the country. From there, we aim to digitize charitable information nationwide and make it transparent,\u201d Tu\u1ea5n shared, explaining why Light Charity was founded.<\/p>\n

To date, Light Charity has more than 700 members in provinces and cities including H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i, Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i, \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng, \u0110\u1eafk L\u1eafk, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, and C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1.<\/p>\n

Sharing love<\/h3>\n

The organization's first project is Light One, also called \u201c1 Million+ Garments of Love.\u201d The project connects people donating clothes with those who need them. Rather than giving clothes away, Light One sells them at a symbolic price of VND 2,000 per item. \u201cLight One does not want to send the wrong message to vulnerable people, because people living in poverty have their own dignity; let them make a symbolic purchase. Proceeds from clothing sales help fund treatment for children with leukemia. In this way, Light One has an impact on all three groups: vulnerable people receiving used clothes (workers, disadvantaged students, and people living in poverty), children with leukemia, and members participating in the program. Members get to put their kindness into practice,\u201d H\u1ed3 \u0110\u1ee9c H\u1ea3i shared.<\/p>\n

H\u1ea3i said the project had helped 10,000 vulnerable people nationwide receive clothes. The symbolic proceeds from clothing sales are pooled into the \u201cGi\u1ea5c M\u01a1 \u0110\u00f4i Ch\u00e2n Thi\u00ean Th\u1ea7n\u201d fund, supporting treatment for 21 children with leukemia each month.<\/p>\n

Soon, the group will launch its second project, Light Two, connecting book donors and recipients. Books collected will be sold to contribute to the fund and continue helping children with leukemia.<\/p>\n

Tu\u1ea5n shared that Light Charity will digitize its charitable activities in the future. It will become an information portal or a connecting platform for charity, allowing people to find charitable information nationwide and make giving more effective.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
