A 30-Month Commitment

The full programme budget for Pang and Sinh is approximately:

US$27,941

This will support all three apprentices from September 2026 until February 2029, covering their accommodation, food, personal bursaries, formal education, English study, professional qualifications, transport, field training and long-term mentoring.

You could then show two smaller supporting figures:

Approximately US$13,971 per apprentice for the full 30 months

Approximately US$931 per month for all both apprentices

*USD figures are approximate and based on the exchange rate available when this page was prepared. Programme costs are paid in Vietnamese đồng, so the USD equivalent may change over time.

How donations are managed

How the Shared Fund Works

All donations enter one shared programme fund managed by ETHOS. The fund is used to meet the agreed education, accommodation, living, training and professional-development costs of all three apprentices.

Donations are not allocated according to which apprentice receives the most attention online. Each apprentice will receive the support promised to her throughout the programme.

ETHOS will publish regular financial and programme updates so supporters can see what has been funded, what has been completed and what remains ahead.

Trust and transparency

Our Commitment to Supporters

  • donations used only for the apprenticeship programme

  • regular funding updates

  • progress reports

  • transparent explanation of major expenditure

  • no donor entitlement to private contact

  • apprentice consent and privacy protected

  • no artificial cultural performances or repeated disclosure of hardship

Support creates opportunity. It does not purchase access to the apprentices, their families or their communities.
