The "Lion's Playground" project was launched at Gia Loc Town Kindergarten in Hai Phong on 23/5 and at Phan Dinh Phung Park, Xuan Hoa ward, Ho Chi Minh City on 31/5. These two playgrounds follow similar facilities completed in An Giang and Can Tho in 2025.

Designed as outdoor play areas, these playgrounds feature a lion mascot theme, incorporating equipment such as slides, seesaws, and swings. The equipment is constructed from recycled tires, wood from managed plantations, and other eco-friendly materials. The project aims to create safe, sustainable play spaces while encouraging children to engage in physical activity, explore, and develop skills during their early years.

In addition to building playgrounds, the project includes workshops on "Play Theory and Developing Open-Ended Materials into Free Play for Preschoolers". These workshops aim to enhance the capacity of teachers, parents, and the community, fostering new approaches in early childhood education.

As part of the program, Generali also offered various experiential activities for children, including playing with recycled materials, planting trees to decorate classrooms, and painting wooden lion models.

In Ho Chi Minh City, Generali also awarded scholarships to disadvantaged students, supporting their continued education and pursuit of dreams.

The event in Ho Chi Minh City also marked the launch of the Global Challenge 2026, a fundraising initiative by The Human Safety Net. This program brings together Generali volunteers, including employees, financial advisors, and customers, to participate in fundraising activities that support children, families, and vulnerable individuals.

The Global Challenge will feature creative fundraising methods, a 15 million steps challenge, and community engagement activities. The funds raised will contribute to children's projects, including the construction and maintenance of safe, sustainable play spaces.

Nguyen Phuong Anh, General Director of Generali Vietnam, stated that the company views investing in children as investing in the future. "We believe each playground is a seed of love sown today, which will sprout into belief and dreams for children as they grow up", she said.

These playgrounds are part of the "Lion's Playground Initiative - Creating a Holistic Development Environment for Children" project, implemented nationwide by Generali Vietnam in collaboration with the Vietnam National Fund for Vietnamese Children. The project aims to create more safe, inclusive, and eco-friendly play spaces for children, supporting their holistic development during their early years. In the future, the "Lion's Playground" initiative will continue to expand to many other localities across the country.
