The "Water Access Promotes Happy Schools (WAHASO)" programme, sponsored by ActionAid Vietnam and Lindstrom Group (Europe) since 2025, has assisted local residents, especially children, in climate change-affected areas of the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long to access to clean, sanitary water and raise awareness of water conservation amidst increasing salinisation and pollution. The programme, running to 2027 with a total funding of 90,000 EUR (104,820 USD), is implemented in local schools in areas heavily impacted by climate change and salinisation. It has installed solar-powered RO water filtration systems at three schools and donated 800 thermos bottles to students. It also held one ToT (Training of Trainers) course and 35 expanded training sessions for students on waterborne diseases and water management. VNA Photo: Thanh Hòa
