The classrooms at this site are run down and are not suitable to provide a quality learning environment for the children. Saigonchildren and TEMASEK see that we need to give a hand to help these deprived kids as they are deserved to enjoy a quality and friendly school. This project will last 11 months from Nov 2018 to Sep 2018.

The support from TEMASEK brings a much-needed change to the lives of disadvantaged children living in the neighborhood, including 113 children aged 3-5 in the 2018-2019 school year and 110-120 students each academic year.
