Achievements

In the province of Quang Ninh since 1993 and the province of Vung Tau since 1997, the sponsorship program allows the Foundation to support orphan children in the community and in orphanages. Sponsored children are those who are not adoptable and require special assistance, such as children living with HIV.

This program gives financial support to very poor students in Vietnam. TDH provides support for university education to several Vietnamese students. Kien, for example, reaches the end of his studies in computer science (Robotic Design) at the University of Hanoi. TDH has paid his education for three years and will continue until he graduates.

In association with the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh Province, the purchase of water buffalo by the Foundation allows families living in poverty to enjoy all the benefits of this animal for many years. Milk rich in protein, a force for plowing and sowing and manure to enrich the earth: these are some of the many benefits of the buffalo.

They have set up various projects and TDH provided materials to help them maintain these projects. TDH also provides material support and sponsorship for some of the 500 children cared by the sisters to their maturity.

It was built nearly 80 years ago and has never been renovated. A girl recently adopted from this orphanage said that during the cold weather the children placed their beds side by side and piled their blankets to stay warm. The needs are great for this orphanage and TDH Foundation helps to improve the wellbeing of children who live there.
