About Tay Giang
Tay Giang is a mountainous district in the West of Quang Nam province with 95% of people coming from Cotu minority ethnic background. The nearest city is Tam Ky located about 185km away. 80% of Tay Giang border is shared with Laos. The terrain is dangerous and unfavorable for transportation.
The poverty rate remains high at 65%. People are still lack of many basic needs as well as standard care & comfort needs. Child malnutrition is prevalent. The percentage of children attending school at the standard age is still low. Education system is inadequate especially infrastructure and classroom.
At this moment, the entire district has 18 schools within the management of Quang Nam Education Department. There is only one elementary school located in Lang Commune equipped with a library that achieves standard practice.
About Nguyen Ba Ngoc School:
Location: Aruung Village, Bhalee Commune, Tay Giang – Quang Nam
Nguyen Ba Ngoc Middle School is home to over 314 students from grades 6 to 9. It’s a semi-residential school where students live and stay throughout weekdays. They visit their homes and families on weekends which can be as far as 3 – 4 hrs away. The residential school system is mostly found in remote mountainous regions of Vietnam where public transportation is limited or nearly nonexistence and seasonal food conditions make it even more difficult to travel.
Together with our project champion, BeCause team is very excited to lend a hand in establishing a library at the school, which will allow students to access more reading materials, and an enhanced leisure experience while living at the school.
What we will support:
- New reading room furniture and bookshelves
- Additional reading materials including academic reference books and leisure reading books
- Computer
