This year’s reflection of the Be Better Foundation includes not only numbers but also the dreams that were preserved and the lives that are gradually being transformed. We would like to recount that journey through moments made possible by the companionship of kind-hearted supporters who are joining hands to kindle the flame of trust and hope.
Throughout the past year, the Foundation received a total of approximately VND 662 million in donations from the charitable community and benefactors. For Be Better, this was not merely financial support, but also a profound belief that the Foundation would use these resources to do the right thing, for the right people, at the right time, transparently and responsibly.
Alongside the trust placed by the community, Mr. Tran Van Tinh – Founder of the Foundation directly contributed an additional VND 1.67 billion to Be Better in 2025. This is not merely a number, but a clear and consistent commitment: Be Better is not standing outside this journey. The Foundation is built and sustained through genuine dedication, long-term responsibility, and the conviction that education is the most sustainable path to changing the life of a young person facing difficult circumstances.
From these resources, over the past year, Be Better provided long-term “Change the Future” scholarships to more than 70 high school, college, and university students, with a total value of approximately VND 1.05 billion. Each scholarship is not merely educational support. It means helping a young person avoid dropping out of school, avoiding choosing work over study due to family hardship, and, more importantly, helping them dare to believe that their dreams are not something beyond reach.
In addition to scholarships, mentorship continued to be a journey to which Be Better devoted great care in 2025. More than 15 mentorship programs were organized, reaching over 3,840 high school students in Tra Vinh, Ben Tre, Vinh Long, and Ho Chi Minh City. There, the students were heard, encouraged to be themselves, and inspired to understand themselves more clearly before making important choices for the future ahead.
Looking back on 2025, Be Better understands that it could not have come this far without the companionship of many kind-hearted people. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our Benefactors, partners, schools, speakers, and volunteers who quietly stood by the Fund throughout the year.
As 2025 comes to a close, Be Better carries with it a deep sense of gratitude. Ahead lies 2026, with new journeys and dreams still waiting to be uplifted. We believe that as long as there is still faith, this journey will always have a reason to continue.
Thank you for being with Be Better throughout the past year.
And thank you for helping us write a truly fulfilling 2025 together. 💙
