Background: Giao Xuan is one of the poor villages in Nam Dinh province. Villagers’ lives are associated with sea including salt production, marine aquaculture. This hard work depends on the weather; therefore, villagers face many difficulties for their lives. More than 90% of the villagers are poor farmers and fishers, which makes them difficult to build good facilities for children in the village. Giao Xuan kindergarten is not an exception. The kindergarten was established in August, 1990. Experiencing 25 years, it is now in a bad condition such as cracked and moldy walls, leaky ceiling. However, there are still more than 100 children coming to this school every week. Although this is the only school of the commune, the living conditions of the children here are very poor and are in need of renovation.
