From a humble home filled with big dreams, Quynh began her journey as a Lifestart Foundation scholarship recipient in grade 8. At that time, her family was going through immense hardship - her mother, a factory worker with an unstable income, was the sole breadwinner, while her father’s poor health meant he could barely work. With three children in school, the weight of hope and survival fell entirely on her mother’s shoulders.

But Quynh never gave up.

Thanks to the generosity of her sponsors and Lifestart Foundation, Quynh was able to continue her studies with peace of mind.

Quynh chose to study International Business Management, believing that it would give her a solid foundation and open doors to flexible career opportunities.

Studying at Foreign Trade University in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the most prestigious universities in Vietnam, Quynh pursued her passion for learning with determination. She studied diligently every single day, devoting six hours daily to self-studying besides attending tutorials at university and extra-curricular activities.

As a result of her hard work and the unwavering support from her sponsors and Lifestart Foundation, Quynh has recently graduated from university with a Distinction degree. Her love for subjects like Strategic Management, Marketing, and International Business Management blossomed. And more importantly, so did her dreams.

Since graduation, Quynh has been working as a Human Resources Business Partner in Ho Chi Minh city, turning knowledge into action, and hope into a future. She is deeply committed to growing professionally in business operations, and she carries with her not just ambition, but heartfelt gratitude.

💬 “The scholarship gave me more than just financial support - it gave me the belief that I was seen, valued and capable. It lifted the burden off my mother’s shoulders and allowed all three of us siblings to complete our education. My older sister is now pursuing a Master’s degree. Our lives have truly changed.”

To our amazing sponsors: Thank you for believing in Quynh. Your kindness did not just help her get through school - it helped an entire family rise.

👉 Let’s continue empowering students like Quynh. One scholarship can change a life. 💙

Upon graduation, Quynh shared a moving letter, expressing her gratitude and outlining her exciting plans ahead. We invite you to read her inspiring message in the link below:

#LifestartFoundation is proud to announce that our newly awarded Medical Scholarship recipient, Phuc, has recently received a valuable donation - a much-needed laptop to support his studies.

Like many of our students from disadvantaged backgrounds, access to essential educational tools such as a laptop is often a luxury they cannot afford.

Phuc is currently a fourth-year General Medicine student at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. He comes from a family facing long-term and significant financial hardship.

When Phuc was born, his father had already been diagnosed with brain cancer, a condition he has now lived with for over 20 years. Since 2014, his father's health has deteriorated severely, leaving him paralyzed on the right side, unable to walk, perform daily activities, or live without assistance. He also suffers from periodic seizures. Phuc’s mother made the difficult decision to stay home as his full-time caregiver, sacrificing her job and the family’s main source of income. Today, the family survives on a small disability allowance and limited income from two small rice fields.

Despite these challenges, Phuc has held fast to a dream formed in childhood: to become a doctor. Watching his father suffer over the years filled him with pain, but also a powerful sense of purpose. His desire to ease his father's suffering has been the driving force behind his unwavering dedication to his studies.

Before receiving this laptop, Phuc had to rely on his older brother’s laptop or go to internet cafés to study. This made it difficult to be proactive and consistent in his learning. He often watched lecture videos and took notes using his phone, which was both difficult and limiting for his academic needs.

Thanks to the support of Lifestart Foundation, Phuc now has a brand-new laptop that will greatly enhance his ability to learn, conduct research and keep pace with the demands of medical school.

We are inspired by Phuc’s determination and proud to support him as he works toward a brighter future - not only for himself, but for his family. At Lifestart Foundation, we believe that education, when combined with opportunity, can transform lives. 💻✨

As well as supporting disadvantaged students with education scholarships that provide all tuition fees, books, stationery, uniforms, and the all-important extra classes, the Lifestart Foundation education scholarship project also provides the students with additional support. This comes in a variety of practical and useful ways to help ease the burden for the students and their families.

Our Education Scholarship student Trieu is currently studying in Year 11. He has held a full Lifestart Foundation scholarship since grade 9. Trieu spends 5 hours a day self-studying, which is in addition to his classes at school and extra classes. Like other Vietnamese children, he also spends 1 hour a day helping his sister with household chores. At this stage, Trieu would like to pursue a career in the Information Technology sector.

Trieu is pictured receiving a donation of a much-needed hamper box and milk. The hamper box includes rice, milk and daily household necessities such as cooking oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, toothpaste, shower gel, washing powder, detergent, shampoo, and dishwashing liquid. These are the items that many of us often take for granted, but for our students who come from disadvantaged families, these can be a luxury.

Like other children in our Education Scholarship project, Trieu’s childhood was a very sad and difficult story.Trieu hails from a financially challenged family of 3, including his sister, his niece, and himself. Unfortunately, both of his parents lost their lives to cancer several years ago, leaving Trieu and his sister living in a small house. During Trieu’s childhood, he faced kidney-related health issues, resulting in him having poor health. The financial responsibilities of his medical issues fell on Trieu’s sister's shoulders. Trieu's sister was in an unhappy marriage, so she and her five-year-old daughter returned to her parent's home to ensure she could provide safety, care and support for both Trieu and her child. To support their livelihood, Trieu’s sister works selling vegetables at the market. Her wage is about 100,000 VND per day (approximately $5 USD). However, due to the responsibilities of caring for Trieu and her daughter, she is unable to work regularly. Consequently, her income is highly unstable and insufficient to cover the living expenses of the family. Fortunately, since Trieu received the Lifestart Foundation scholarship, his family life has improved. The gift of a hamper box not only supports Trieu but also helps to reduce the burden on his sister’s shoulders.
