Chevron, MOECO, PTTEP Join Hands to Assist Mekong Delta School Children

A Chevron-led consortium of Chevron Vietnam Ltd. , Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. (MOECO), and PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) recently granted scholarships to more than 150 schoolchildren in Ca Mau, Kien Giang provinces and Can Tho, in partnership with the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC). 

 

The initiative is part of a larger Chevron led program to help improve access to education by providing scholarships to more than 800 children in Ca Mau, Kien Giang, Hau Giang, Bac Lieu provinces and Can Tho throughout 2011. The partners will also upgrade one school in each province. The total value of the Partners’ donation to the NFVC this year is approximately VND 3 billion (US$150,000). 

 

Chevron, MOECO and PTTEP are also working with an international NGO, Habitat for Humanity Vietnam, along with the local Government in Kien Giang Province, to provide sustainable housing solutions, including water, sewerage, and sanitation, for underprivileged communities.

 

Chevron, MOECO and PTTEP are investors in an offshore gas-to-power project that will provide electricity to the Mekong Delta by providing power to plants in Ca Mau and Can Tho.
