Bui lives in the Vietnamese region of Quang Tri in a small one-room house with his parents and five brothers and sisters. Like many of the children in his village, Bui may not have the opportunity to attend school. The community is severely lacking for teachers, classrooms and teaching aids.
Illiteracy is a major problem.
Your support translates into positive results for a child like Bui, his family and community results that include immunization, clean water, going to school, a safe home and opportunities for a better life. We know that to help a child in a lasting way, we must also help his or her family and the local community to become self-sufficient. In the event of a natural disaster, we do provide emergency relief to the communities in which we work, but our focus is on long-term development. We work with families and communities for as long as it takes to strengthen their capacity to provide their children with stability, protection and security in a way that is sustainable. As a result, your money is used for programs that benefit not only your child, but all members of the family and community.
