How one legacy made a real difference
Naguyen Vu | A Plan sponsor for more than eleven years, Mr Richards* wanted to leave the world a better place. So, having made sure his own family were provided for, he decided to include a gift to Plan in his Will.
His generosity has made a tremendous difference to the lives of children and their families in Nam Ha, Vietnam. Previously, less than half of the people in this province had access to any clean water. As a result, many thousands of children became sick, and even died, after drinking from polluted rivers and streams.
Thanks in part to Mr Richards’ gift, Plan was able to work with the people in Nam Ha to develop a series of new water systems. In all, 55,000 more people now have clean, pure water to drink, and the region’s children, and their children’s children, will grow up healthier than ever before.
By including Plan in his Will, Mr Richards has been able to continue making a difference to the world’s poorest children, even after his own lifetime. Would you consider doing the same?
