VN HELP - Quỹ Y tế Giáo dục và Văn hóa Việt Nam
VNHELP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of Vietnam’s poor. Our projects have benefited thousands, reaching people across 32 provinces and municipalities.
VNHELP stands for “Vietnam Health, Education and Literature Projects.” We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian and development assistance to Vietnam’s poor. We focus on community building by tackling the key health and education needs of children and the disadvantaged. Our goal is to realize a Vietnam where every individual, regardless of background or standing in life, can achieve self-sufficiency, self-determination, and self-confidence.
VNHELP was founded on the vision that people can begin to pull themselves out of poverty and build self-sufficiency through greater access to resources. To help us realize this vision, we partner with local organizations and individuals in Vietnam who have a deep connection to the people and their needs, and we equip them with the tools necessary for success. Our strategy for engagement and development is based on these five principles:
Health: Develop, promote and maintain various programs related to preventive care and health education in rural areas
Education: Provide financial assistance to poor students and individuals who have the determination and ability to excel; provide funds to build or repair schools to increase access to education
Self-Help: Emphasize self-help programs to enable local people and project beneficies to achieve sustainable livelihoods
Direct Humanitarian Aid: Collaborate with individuals and organizations who share our common goal to bring humanitarian aid directly to the needy people in Vietnam
Cultural Exchange: Promote Vietnamese culture in the United States through cultural and art events to increase understanding between the two peoples
