Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
In 2024, we participated in GiveMN, and raised funds for media equipment to be used by the students, upgrades to the library, and security equipment. In addition, we applied for and received a grant of $11,500 to be used by the Anh Linh School to do much needed safety and structural repairs to the school. We did not hold any large events as the focus for our organization was about spreading awareness within our networks and pointed campaigns for specific causes.
Bridges to Learning contributed approximately a third of the operating funds to the Anh Linh school which educated about 225 students in 2024.
Current Goals
Our goal for 2025 is to continue to increase the number of children we support by increasing the organizations awareness through revamping our social media presence and adding board members with different skill sets.
Community or Constituency Served
The primary communities that are served by Bridges to Learning are two "free" schools in Vietnam, the Anh Linh School and the Viet Anh Primary School. They provide education and support to severely impoverished children who would not have the opportunity to attend public school due to lack of resources.
Geographic Area Served
The Anh Linh School is located in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The Viet Anh Primary School is located in the rural area of Ð? T?h, in the Lâm Ð?ng Province, Vietnam. The children in the rural area travel up to 60 km to attend school and most stay in the dormitory during the week.
