LuxGroup Foundation, the charity fund of LuxGroup, has successfully completed the “Lighting Up the Stone Plateau” program. This initiative brought 30 solar-powered lights to Lủng Sính village, located in Phố Bảng commune, Tuyên Quang province (formerly Hà Giang).
With the support of various benefactors, LuxGroup Foundation achieved its goal of installing 30 solar lights. The project not only illuminated the treacherous, rocky roads but also brought happiness to the local people with a warm Mid-Autumn Festival – the first of its kind in the village and heartfelt gifts for the community.

This charitable program is part of LuxGroup Foundation’s ongoing commitment to sustainable activities, focusing on underserved areas, particularly in the northern border region. Situated deep within the Đồng Văn Karst Plateau Geopark, Lủng Sính is remote and isolated from other villages, making it a prime example of a community facing significant infrastructure challenges. Its rugged, uneven roads become extremely dangerous after dark, seriously impacting the daily lives and safety of residents. Out of the 68 households in the village, 56 are classified as poor or near-poor.
With the goal of providing a sustainable lighting solution, LuxGroup Foundation launched this project in close collaboration with local authorities. The volunteer team included members from LuxGroup, Hà Giang Trẻ – a reputable volunteer organization dedicated to youth and community development in Hà Giang, along with local officials and villagers. Together, they overcame challenges to install the lights along the main road and at the Lủng Sính school, which serves both kindergarten and elementary students.
When the lights came on, LuxGroup Foundation seized the moment to host a cozy Mid-Autumn Festival celebration right at the school. This marked the first time the people of Lủng Sính had ever experienced such an event. Under the bright new lights, nearly 100 children and their families enjoyed a perfect full-moon festival. Lanterns, star-shaped lights, and masks were given to the children, and their laughter and songs created unforgettable memories.

Speaking about the project’s success, Dr. Phạm Hà, Founder and CEO of LuxGroup, shared:
“Lighting Up the Stone Plateau’ is more than just a charity project; it’s our long-term commitment to the community. Its success is a result of the collective efforts of our benefactors and volunteers, which motivates LuxGroup to continue our mission of bringing happiness through tourism and ESG.”
He added with emotion:
“Seeing the villagers’ faces light up as their community became bright, and watching the children celebrate their first full Mid-autumn Festival under the stars, we truly understood the profound meaning of this journey.”
In addition to installing lights and hosting the festival, the volunteer team took the time to learn about the villagers’ lives. Upon identifying several families in particularly difficult circumstances, LuxGroup prepared special gifts, including cash, essential supplies like rice and blankets, and school supplies to support the children and ease the burden on their families.

The collaboration among members of LuxGroup, Lux Cruises Group, and Hà Giang Trẻ, and especially the support from the community, brought the project to a successful and meaningful close. The program has left a lasting impression, bringing happiness and hope for the future to the people of Lủng Sính. This also serves as a promise from LuxGroup Foundation to continue undertaking meaningful community projects and contribute to building a better society.
