Accordingly, the programme will be implemented in the first semester of the 2023 - 2024 academic year, providing 405,492 boxes of Fami Calcium soy milk worth 1.85 billion VND (nearly 75,300 USD) at no cost to more than 33,000 students at 63 secondary schools in the Ke Sach, My Tu, My Xuyen, Thanh Tri and Tran De districts.
