Welcome to the Kianh Foundation!
The Kianh Foundation is a small UK charity helping disabled and disadvantaged children at Hoi An Orphanage in Hoi An, Central Vietnam. It has had a permanent presence at Hoi An Orphanage since 2002 and is the only organisation working full-time there to improve the lives of the children.
The Vietnamese Government own and run Hoi An Orphanage.
We work alongside the authorities and aim to improve the health, education and quality of life for the children there. We currently have 80 children in our care (the number fluctuates regularly), 37 of whom have a range of physical and intellectual disabilities, mainly Cerebral Palsy-related. We are striving to help each of them achieve their greatest potential in life, whatever that may be.
Unfortunately there is limited government funds available to support the children at Hoi An Orphanage. With the help of its supporters, the Kianh Foundation has therefore funded, and hopes to continue funding, the major projects at the Orphanage, with particular emphasis on the children with disabilities. These projects include the employment of 14 local Vietnamese people, provision of medicines and arrangement of surgeries, nutrition improvement, Special Education, Further Education support; providing and running a school room and play room for disabled children, Physiotherapy and building maintenance and repairs.
Dien Ban Day Centre
This year we are starting to raise vital funds for our proposed Day Centre project in Dien Ban district. Dien Ban, located 20 minutes from Hoi An City in Central Vietnam, was heavily bombed during the war and has the highest proportion of disability in the Province. There are over 800 children with disability who do not have access to essential education and therapy services. In addition to maintaining its programmes at Hoi An Orphanage, the Kianh Foundation is planning to build a Day Centre that will help to address the gap in services by providing special education and therapies such as physiotherapy and speech therapy. Please donate now and help us to make this project a reality. |

Sean Arnold and friends are hoping to raise £15,000 to purchase a minibus for use when taking the children to Danang (40 minutes from Hoi An) for dental and medical treatment. It will also be used for social trips and be vital as we develop our new Education and Therapies Day Centre in the neighbouring district of Dien Ban (20 minutes from Hoi An). |
Nichol Kerr is cycling from Saigon in Vietnam to Ankor Wat in Cambodia. This is a journey of about 500km and will take 7 days. He has strong family ties to Vietnam and a real desire to help those less fortunate.
