Delivering aid packages to children in difficult circumstances

The program aims to help children of fishermen facing special challenges or economic hardship access better learning opportunities, motivating them to overcome difficulties in life. At the same time, the initiative encourages and reassures fishermen so they can set out to sea with peace of mind, strengthen their livelihoods, and foster social security in maritime and island regions. Through the “Casting the Net of Dreams” project, Acecook Vietnam hopes to help empower children to develop themselves, get closer to their dreams, and become useful members of society.

Additionally, Acecook Vietnam has partnered with the VCF on the “Packet of Happiness Noodles” project, which has provided educational support and nourishment to disadvantaged children nationwide since 2019. Core activities include awarding scholarships, donating school supplies, and providing high-quality instant noodle products to 50,000 disadvantaged children across the country, helping boost their motivation to study and ease the hardships in their daily lives.

Acecook Vietnam’s core values revolve around the three H’s: Happy Consumers, Happy Employees, Happy Society. Working with the VCF allows Acecook Vietnam to realize the third H – Happy Society – by spreading positive values within the community and continuing the company’s journey of contributing to a more sustainable and prosperous Vietnamese society.
