Yahoo! for Clean Water in Vietnam

April 18th, 2012

VNHELP is proud to announce that we’ve been selected as a $5000 “quick-grant” recipient by the Yahoo Employee Foundation. $5000 is the maximum awarded for quick grants. The Yahoo! grant will go towards funding our clean water projects in Vietnam.  With so many of Vietnam’s rural poor still obtaining water from unsanitary sources, ensuring that all citizens can access clean water for their consumption and living needs will be a challenge for Vietnam’s future development. So thank you Yahoo! and Yahoo! employees, for enabling VNHELP to connect poor households with the water they need to live healthy, productive lives. Rest assured that someone’s life will change for the better as a result of your generosity.

Hello friends,

2012 has been a rollicking year for VNHELP so far. We started construction on a new school in Kien Giang in January, launched another round of our vocational training program in February, and started looking at how we can expand our microfinance programs to help Vietnam’s poor–all while continuously screening new proposals and planning events in the States.

In the midst of all these activities, we took a look at our website and decided it was time to modernize our online presence. We want you to be able to better understand and keep up with VNHELP’s volunteering and donor opportunities, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by strengthening our web platforms. The main site will stay functional as we work on it, but we decided to start this blog as a way to keep in contact more frequently and more regularly.

So keep posted for a cleaner VNHELP.org, visit our blog, and like us on Facebook for even more VNHELP updates!

Cheers
