The Hanoi municipal People's Committee has issued Decision No. 1316/QD-UBND approving the project for the 'Protection, care and development of children from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged areas in the city for the 2011-2015 period.' The project aims to improve the quality of life for ethnic minority children and those living in disadvantaged areas, and provide them with opportunities to develop successfully within their families and communities. It also aims to gradually narrow the quality gap between living conditions for children in remote areas and children in urban areas, mobilize social resources to invest in economic development and infrastructure in poor and remote ethnic minority communes, and provide children with healthcare, education, entertainment, legal services and life skills.
