Our Impact
Over the past years we have built more than 100 new kindergartens and schools and renovated/improved the facilities of several orphanages. Most of the schools are situated where the minorities live, in remote areas that tend not to be a priority for provincial governments. Each school has between 180 to 220 children, aged from five to nine years old.
Our projects for orphanages comprise extensive renovation as well as the building of workshops where children can learn computer, sewing, and mechanical skills. In some cases, we purchase additional land for agriculture to ensure more self-sufficiency. We also assist orphanages in real need to finance their monthly running costs. Thanks to local donors, we can also help by providing nutritional products to complement and upgrade their daily diet. We are rigorous about the way we go about each project. For example, in Vietnam, at the outset, we work with the Vietnamese Authorities.
Once the building is completed and equipped, it is turned over to the local authorities who are responsible for hiring the teaching staff from the Ministry of Education. The official inauguration of the school takes place when the school is fully operational.
