At the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, we don’t just hand out support - we unlock futures. 🗝️✨ Last week was truly special. We welcomed graduating students from 14 provinces across Vietnam to complete their Capstone Week - the final part of their journey in the Christina Noble Education Programme (CNEP). This incredible group of young people spent five days exploring sustainable agriculture, meeting biotech innovators, pitching social business projects to leading companies and reflecting deeply on their purpose and future. From solar energy in rural areas to student mental health, financial literacy, sustainable tourism, textile waste solutions, and fire safety for vulnerable homes - their projects were powerful, practical, and full of heart. ✨ As Conor Finn, Deputy Ambassador of Ireland to Vietnam, shared on graduation day: “Education must go hand-in-hand with empathy and purpose. What these students have shown us is that innovation can be human-centered, sustainable, and deeply inspiring.” And in the words of Thomas Noble, CNCF Director Asia: “These young people are not just students - they are changemakers, future leaders, and guardians of our shared planet.” 👏 To our amazing students - all of whom come from incredibly challenging backgrounds - we are so proud of you. Your, grit, determination and strength are extraordinary. You are the future that you deserve, and exactly why our founder, Christina Noble founded this Foundation 36 years ago - to give children born into hardship the chance to change their story. To replace generational cycles of poverty and pain, with opportunity and success. You are living proof that with support, belief, and your own determination, a different future is possible.🌏 🙏Thank you to our education partners and funders for making this journey possible: Furniture Industry For Education (FIFE), Irish Embassy in Vietnam MiTek Vietnam's Community Australasia Social Impact Foundation (ASIF), ASIATAN, Overseas Resource Foundation, shoefabrik, and our programme partner Vietnam National University HCMC and its national university affiliates. 💡 Want to be part of this journey?
