The new playgrounds provide safe and engaging spaces where students can develop physical strength, coordination, confidence and social skills.

The libraries will open doors to knowledge and discovery, offering books, educational games, quiet study areas and community reading activities.

Through these education-related projects, Citi Vietnam aims to create real and lasting impact for children and local communities, while encouraging employees to participate actively in volunteerism and community engagement.
