On November 21st, 2022, INSEE Vietnam held the Handover Ceremony of the “Mat Ngot” project – Library for children in mountainous areas at Phuoc Tan A Primary School, Ma Ty Hamlet, Phuoc Tan Commune, Bac Ai District, Ninh Thuan Province. The event was successfully organized with the participation of INSEE Vietnam representatives, sponsors, the presence of local authorities and the Champion group of the 2021 INSEE Prize.

The name of the project, which is inspired by the way Jews teach their children how to love books thanks to sweet drops of honey, aims to bring a safe and sustainable reading and learning space for less-fortunate children at Phuoc Tan A Primary School, Bac Ai District, Ninh Thuan Province. The project contributes to the development of local educational facilities. With a total area of nearly 100m2, the library is implemented with sustainable building materials and solutions, helping the project receive Lotus certification by the Vietnam Green Building Council.
