In Vietnam, about 15,000 children are born each year with congenital heart disease. Approximately half of these children will require surgery or intervention. Without treatment, 85% of them will struggle to survive into adolescence. Against this backdrop, fundraising activities like “Scar of Life” have played a crucial role, offering hope and life-saving opportunities to thousands of children in Vietnam.

“Scar of Life” is not just a charity program, but also a symbol of unity and the love that spreads throughout society, where everyone works together to help children with heart disease live healthier lives. Chicilon Media is committed to continuing its support of this project in the coming years, bringing hope and life-saving opportunities to children with congenital heart disease and helping to create a better life for Vietnamese children.
