Launches Community Program by China's SPIC in Central Highlands Region
SPIC's "Shaping Dreams" Initiative Enhances Gia Lai Community
In a significant stride towards sustainable development, SPIC's "Shaping Dreams" programme has recently been launched in the Ya Bal commune, Gia Lai province, Vietnam. The initiative aims to support local development, focusing on education, poverty alleviation, and infrastructure improvement [1].
At the heart of this programme is a commitment to education. School facilities are being improved, and resources are being provided to help local children access quality education. This investment in education is expected to empower the youth of Gia Lai, setting them on a path towards a brighter future.
Poverty alleviation is another key focus for the "Shaping Dreams" programme. Through livelihood support and capacity-building programmes, SPIC aims to empower disadvantaged households, helping them to build sustainable livelihoods and improve their socio-economic conditions.
Infrastructure projects are also part of the initiative, with the aim of developing essential local facilities and improving accessibility. This includes the installation of solar-powered LED high-mast lights at a community football field [2].
The "Shaping Dreams" programme aligns with SPIC’s corporate social responsibility goals to foster inclusive growth and enhance community welfare in regions where it operates. The company has already demonstrated its commitment to this cause through its establishment of a fund to support low-income households [3], and its hosting of events like a friendly volleyball match between Chinese and Vietnamese youth players [4].
The programme's focus areas for scaling are education, infrastructure, and livelihood enhancement. Representatives from Gia Lai province are advocating for the enactment of a dedicated Renewable Energy Law to support these efforts [5]. This push for renewable energy is reflected in SPIC's operations, with over 60% of its projects coming from renewable sources, including the 99 MW wind power project in Gia Lai [6].
The total installed capacity of SPIC's projects globally is 12.6 GW, with two wind farms in Gia Lai contributing significantly to this figure. Ground-breaking ceremonies were held on September 24 for these wind farms, with a combined capacity of 100 MW [7].
As of late July 2025, the "Shaping Dreams" initiative has invested over $160 million in the Gia Lai Ya Bal wind power project [8]. The first 10 beneficiaries of the fund can use it to cover hospital fees in advance and make essential home repairs [3].
The "Shaping Dreams" programme emphasises precision, collaboration, and sustainability. The joint task force for the initiative consists of SPIC volunteers and local youth, working together to ensure the programme's success [9].
In conclusion, the "SPIC - Shaping Dreams" initiative is currently active in Gia Lai, with a focus on education, poverty reduction, and infrastructure enhancement. The programme is expected to continue supporting these aspects to promote sustainable local development [1].
