We achieve impact by investing in health and education for kids in underserved communities in rural Vietnam.

Clean water

Access for 7,000+ residents

Access to clean water continues to be a struggle for communities in rural areas. The spread of disease via unsafe drinking water continues to be a topmost concern.

Library

75,000 books currently in circulation

Access to books is critical to the learning and creative process for children. With many classrooms sharing a single text book amongst all students, it is common for children to never experience reading at home.

Playground

8 new playgrounds currently deployed

Play is integral to the creative and social process. With access to playgrounds, inspiration via colorful murals, and shared exercise equipment, children better develop social skills, and stigmatized communities, including children living with HIV, can be better integrated.

Festival

7,500 kids included and 14 festivals

At important annual events including the Mid-Autumn Festival and Tet, children from disadvantaged communities often get left out. Part of healthy growth and integration into the broader community stems from participating in Vietnamese tradition and sharing with others.

Bednets

More than 1,000 bednets

Malaria, dengue, and Japanese encephalitis continue to be constant threats in rural Vietnam. The most effective method to prevent the spread of disease is to use a bednet each night.

Chickens

More than 1,000 chickens so far

Bill Gates says if he were living on just $2 per day, he’d raise chickens.
