Since 2014, PN Vietnam (PNV) started developing its local fundraising activities and HSBC Vietnam was one of the very first partners to support us on this path. At a global level, each year, HSBC supports educational projects to help young people achieve their potential by giving access to education, providing life-skills and entrepreneurship training, and raising awareness of international and cultural understanding. Through the “Future First” program, HSBC’s education flagship, the company’s objective is to support underprivileged young people and offer them the chance to develop their skills and realize their potential, goals which perfectly fits with Passerelles numériques’ mission and vision.
Trang, External Relations Manager for PN Vietnam, says:
“In July 2015, PN Vietnam happily received the good news! We were very happy to learn that we would get the support from “Future First” program for the IT and soft skills training we deliver to our students.”
Ms Karine Colyn, Chief Operating Officer and Chairwoman of Corporate Sustainability at HSBC Vietnam, said as she was visiting PN Vietnam’s center:
“Future First is one of the cornerstones of HSBC’s corporate sustainability program and allows us to help some of Vietnam’s most disadvantaged young people gain access to education and develop vital life skills. By linking up with NGOs based in Vietnam such as PNV, we can better align HSBC funds with the needs of the community and sponsor initiatives that are of long-term benefit to young people.”
Contributing together to social and economic development
Thanks to the generosity and helpful support of its donors and their networks, Passerelles numériques has grown and been able to help more and more underprivileged students in Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines, for the last 10 years. Not only the Fundraising team in France, but also local teams in Asia have worked endlessly to search for financial resources, to allow a sustainable development of the organization and its activities.
Along with the new strategy built up recently, Passerelles numériques’ objective is to gain local visibility and to develop partnerships with companies based in Asia, in the framework of their CSR policy.
Passerelles numériques Vietnam would like to thank HSBC for being on our side and helping us support underprivileged – but nevertheless promising! – young Vietnamese people. We hope to develop more partnerships, opportunities and receive meaningful support, by working closely with our partners and friends.
