Introducing PowHERful, a fund created by Saigon Children’s Charity and MSD Vietnam to empower underprivileged girls in Vietnam through education. We believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for these girls, their families, and their communities. With your support, PowHERful will provide girls with access to quality education, school supplies, and necessary resources. We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to reach her full potential and build a better life for herself and her loved ones. Join us in our mission to empower these girls and transform their futures.

We have asked almost 7,000 individuals and found out that there are still potential challenges not only limiting girls’ access to education, but also preventing them from exploring their potential in school, as well as discouraging them from pursuing higher education or choosing certain career path.

Vietnam Girls' Summit

The PowHERful Vietnam Girls’ Summit creates a platform to see and hear girls equally, showcasing girls’ power and leadership. 

The Summit is proudly a female-designed and female-led event.

We offer a stage to female leaders to inspire girls to value themselves and believe they have power to shape their own lives  and shape the world.

Learn from the best

The event will give stage to female leaders and pioneers, to support young girls smash the stereotypical ceiling and show them what they’re capable of.

Learn from each other

Half of the audience will be girls from underserved communities, making this summit a unique opportunity for students to meet, connect, and learn from peers from vastly different upbringings.

WE ASKED 500 GIRLS AND HERE'S
"In my opinion, girls will be more meticulous, they will be more skillful and usually they will be better at things like teaching, and they will be able to cook better than boys.

"The toilet' doors are completely broken. Sometimes they are clean, sometimes they are dirty. I do not want to use the school's toilet to change my menstruation products."
Female, Highschool Student,
In-depth Interview
"Some of us will learn more slowly than others (regarding Math), so even though we want to follow the lessons, sometimes we don't understand as fast as others but the teacher does not help us. They favour others (the boys) more than us."
