Primary and secondary education as directed by the Vietnamese government

Life skills to ensure the children become self sufficient

A safe environment

Food, clothing, shelter and medical care

Our focus will be from a humanitarian perspective
-
Funds and in-kind gifts will only benefit the children and their caregivers
