WaterWise Project

Dự án WaterWise

WaterWise aims to promote water safety and drowning prevention in communities, particularly among children, by providing free swimming lessons and drowning-prevention training. It also supports access to free mobile swimming pools for schools in remote and disadvantaged areas and underserved communities. These efforts raise awareness of child drowning prevention, with particular attention to vulnerable children and those facing social and economic difficulties. The project also seeks to strengthen management, coordination, and collaboration in implementing child drowning-prevention initiatives across Vietnam.
