PROJECT ORPHANAGES & SCHOOLS
Ben Tre Orphanage | [click here to donate]
Here the majority of orphans were abandoned as infants or toddlers. Some have been in the care of Ben Tre for the last nine years. The current age range is between one year to 13 years old. Their greatest need of support is in education, basic healthcare, food, and clothing.
Bong Hue Orphanage | [click here to donate]
Most of the orphans here were abandoned as infants or toddlers, since many of the local families tragically do not have the means to care for their children. The Bong Hue Orphanage provides these children food, education, shelter, and family, when they would otherwise have none. The children's ages range between newborn and 8 years old. They learn English every Saturday morning to supplement the education they receive during the week. All of these children began their lives in homelessness and extreme poverty. However, through Love 2 Yêu donors and sponsors their lives have been transformed. They now have the chance to learn English alongside their standard education, which will allow them to look for higher-paying jobs and opportunities once they finish schooling.

Duc Ba Notre Dame School
[click here to donate]
The Duc Ba Notre Dame School teaches 100 impoverished students free of charge. Their parents are migrant workers who earn less than $3 a day. But they are overcoming the odds with the help of the school, including a teacher who ram travels three hours a day to teach five classes that cover kindergarten through fifth grade.
Hoa Hong Street Children's Program
[click here to donate]
Twenty years ago, Sister Thao was visiting her parents' graves at the local cemetery, when she noticed a group of disheveled, homeless children literally living on the property. She learned that during the day, the children scrounged for food and begged for change. At night, they protected themselves with handmade weapons and knives from the threat of beatings, muggings, and rape. As a teacher at a nearby Catholic school, Sister Thao was granted permission from her supervisor to care for the children from 5 am to 7 pm at the school, when the school closes. Today, Sister Thao currently raises orphans, and her Hoa Hong Street Children's Program helps 80 additional students, giving them a safe haven, an evening meal, and now, an opportunity to learn English and life skills. Miss Tram teaches English to the children, which will allow them to pursue safer and more financially reliable job opportunities.
Nhu Nghia School & Home for Blind Children
[click here to donate]
The Nhu Nghia School & Home houses 90 blind children, who are learning independent life skills and reading with Braille. They are also learning English through an interactive online program that enables them to speak English after listening to computer instructions. The Love 2 Yêu team visited these students, who are quite clever and fiercely self-reliant, participating in every minute of class. In fact, they insisted that they did not need help completing any of their daily chores around the schoolyard, when help was offered. Many of these children come from impoverished families without the means either to care for them during the day or provide a special-needs education without this program. Therefore, the Nhu Nghia School is a dream come true for them.
