Bicycle Distribution Program

Thursday, September 7th, 2023
Bicycle Distribution Program

September 2023 – For children in remote villages, a bicycle is a cherished dream. As students progress to higher grades, the distance between their homes and schools only increases. Despite facing difficult circumstances, some children have to walk 2 kilometers, while others may need to cover up to 10 kilometers to reach their schools. These children dream of having a bicycle to make their journey easier.

In the three districts of Phong Điền, Nam Đông, and A Lưới in Thừa Thiên Huế Province, on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of September 2023, there were 110 students proudly holding 110 bicycles. It is a joyful and heartwarming sight that the VNHELP organization and the sponsor C & T Produce Wholesale in Houston, TX, have created.

Water projects

Monday, August 7th, 2023
August, 2023 – VNHelp has been and continues to make a positive impact by constructing projects to assist the impoverished in Vietnam. In August 2023, VNHelp proudly inaugurated two water filtration and distribution systems benefiting 192 households in the villages of Kho Muong hamlet and Bang hamlet, located in Thanh Son commune, Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa province.
The project involved the construction of two stream-blocking dams, the installation of two water supply systems with a total length of 13,600 meters, and the successful delivery of clean water to the residents.
Water, an essential and indispensable element for human life, is crucial for their well-being. Observing the images of both children and adults gathered around the water source reflects the happiness and contentment they experience.
