We are building a Day Centre to provide much-needed special education and therapy services to children with disabilities. We completed construction of the Centre in December 2011 and hope to complete the fit-out work and begin operating our services in March 2012.

Dien Ban, located 15 minutes from Hoi An City, was heavily bombed during the war and has the highest proportion of disability in the Province. There are over 900 children with disability who do not have access to essential education and therapy services.

We urgently need your help to raise vital funds to support operating costs.
