Approximately 27% of rural Vietnamese families live in poverty and 69% of minority families live in poverty. Due to extreme poverty, insufficient education and medical care there are tens of thousands of orphaned children in Vietnam.

The Foundation has established a school for disabled children in Huê´. The children receive physical therapy, two nutritious meals per day, an education and skill training designed to help them become self-sufficient contributing members of society.

Since 2009, the Foundation and adoptive families of children from Hue raised enough funds to continue the program through 2011 and expand it to include medical and dental care for the children. As the AFCF was recently granted a renewal of its humanitarian aid license by the Vietnamese government for two more years, we are seeking $36,000 to keep this vital program running in 2012 and 2013. Please browse our From Here to Hue pages to find out more about this program and how you can help these special children in Vietnam.
