Families In Vietnam
A BRIGHTER FUTURE
THROUGH EDUCATION AND FAMILY SPONSORSHIP
For most children in Vietnam, school is not free. Our primary project is the Family Sponsorship Program which registers children for school, pays their school fees, and enables families to care for their own children. Click the Family Sponsorship Program link on the top menu for more details about our work. We now have 78 children in our program!

• Families In Vietnam is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We send out receipts for tax purposes at the end of each year.
• There is no overhead on these donations. All overhead is paid by other contributors.
• Families In Vietnam uses PayPal to manage sponsorships. To make a donation via personal check, please contact val_lehner@yahoo.com.

GIVE THE GIFT OF GIVING
Give the person you love a gift that keeps on giving! Choose among these projects and receive a gift letter along with photos. Every donation will keep on going- baby chicks will grow up and future baby chicks will be given to other families. Support of a grandparent raising grandchildren in desperate circumstances will allow the child to grow up with an education and the hope of raising their own children with love and security. You can make a donation of any amount!

Food for thought... Families In Vietnam is giving baby chicks to the families of some of the poorest children at Tan Lien elementary school in rural Lang Son province. Many children at this school are extremely malnourished, affecting their ability to benefit from education.

Two families in our program consist of elderly grandparents raising their grandchildren whose parents have died, are in prison, or have abandoned them. Pictured here is T. with her grandpa. T. was born out of prostitution and her mother does not care for her. Her grandparents receive $40 per month to provide for T. and her sister.

• We bring gifts to Vietnam each summer. You can include a letter, photo of yourself, and gifts for the child you sponsor.

The mother of N. was burned on half of her body. She was lifting petrol down from a high shelf and spilled it. Someone intentionally lit her on fire. Her life is painful and hard and she truly hopes that her younger son will be able to get an education.

ONE YEAR- $200 AUTOMATIC MONTHLY DONATIONS- $17 PER MONTH

A. is a sweet and bright little boy with a terrible home life. His father is often drunk and beats his mother, his brother, and him. At 3 years old, his parents lock him in the house all day while they work. In addition to the obvious safety risks, this is not in his best interest developmentally. We would like to enroll him in preschool so that he has a safe place to play and learn each day.
