Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam (HSCV)

The wheelchair distribution program distributed 6,080 wheelchairs to individuals in nine provinces in Northern Vietnam. Training was provided to ensure individuals will receive a propertly fitted wheelchair to meet their needs and on how to use the wheelchair properly.

Ocassionally, opportunities will exist to improve local school infrastructure, support the livlihood of our supported families, etc. During 2023, we supported 26 women with training to allow them to establish their own business primarily related to sewing services to their communities. As part of this program 10 women were trained on how to raise and market chickens. 1,000 chickens were donated to allow them to start implementing their training. Another project improved the library of a local school.
