Katy Perry was in rural Ninh Thuan province, among the poorest and most remote regions of Viet Nam. Katy’s visit aims to draw attention to critical issues impacting the millions of children who are not benefitting equally from prosperity, such as the majority of those living in Ninh Thuan. Many of them told her that they didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of their parents – they dream of being doctors and teachers and breaking the cycle of poverty their parents are living in.
“All the children I met have incredible dreams. We have to help them fight for those dreams. Investing in the most disadvantaged to give them a fair chance in life is not only the right thing to do, it is the best way to break the cycle of poverty and drastically improve children’s health, education and well-being,” said Katy.
“UNICEF works to ensure that every child, urban or rural, rich or poor, has a chance to thrive, to grow and to contribute to their families and communities as well as to have the opportunity to shape the world that we live in," said Katy.
Ugh what a saint! Truly the Mother Theresa of our generation!
