Hy Vong Hope School for the Deaf

A private school started by a courageous mother of two deaf children, the Hy Vong Hope School for the Deaf serves approximately 126 day students. Aside from following a national curriculum, the school focuses on art as educational and economic initiatives. VNCP provided an art teacher and art supplies so that the children could earn money for the school by producing and selling their art. 

Hiep An Village

An ethnic minority mountain tribe inhabits this village in the highlands of Viet Nam. The people are extremely poor, with little outside support from the government or private sources. The villagers earn meager wages picking tea and coffee.

Hue Y, a Buddhist nun, devotes her life to the care of the village, especially its children. With the help of VNCP, she has been able to purchase medicine and food supplements.

School in Da Kao District

The Women's Association of Da Kao District organized a small school for the poorest children in this northern neighborhood of Saigon. These children are those without parents or who can otherwise not afford even the minimal fees required for attendance in the public schools. VNCP supported the Da Kao School with funds for school supplies, workbooks and teacher's salaries.  VNCP also provided computers and a teacher so that the school could earn revenue by conducting computer instruction for residents of the district.
