EMPOWERMENT OF INDIGENOUS CHILDREN VIETNAM

$25.00 No GST

RNDM Vinh Trang community is surrounded by various indigenous villages where people are mostly farmers and live a hard life. As uneducated people, they do not think of sending their children to school. The villagers live in remote areas making schools inaccessible. The RNDM Sisters run a residential home for indigenous children from where they can attend public schools in town. After school hours, the Sisters tutor them in the core subjects and help to improve their human development, life skills and faith formation. The Sisters provide students with quality food, school fees, study materials and any other needs. The Sisters also assist the parents to see education as a possible way to overcome poverty and thus motivate them to support their children.

We request your help in enabling a better future for the ethnic children of Vinh Trang.
