Get Involved
Its easy to make a difference to the life of a Vietnamese child; just get involved
Sponsor a Girl
Help a girl receive an education
We always have girls waiting for a sponsor to support them to receive an education.
These children cant go to school because their families are too poor to afford the costs of schooling.
School sponsorships vary: $150 - $300 (2011-2013 fees).
You will receive information and photos of the child you are sponsoring at the beginning of your sponsorship. Yearly you will receive a school report, photos and an update on the child.
Food assistance $100 per school year
Some children need more food than their family can provide for them to be strong and able to concentrate on their school work; its hard to concentrate when hungry.
Vocational Training and University Sponsorships
Once they've completed school, many of the children CEF - VN supports are suitable candidates for vocational training, college or university. A further qualification is a considerable advantage when it comes to finding employment.
Further Education Fund
At the end of secondary schooling most children are keen to continue their education. Your help can make a difference to their future income; a child with a university education can earn 10 times the average income or more. Donations towards this fund help a child receive further education.
Vocational training - $500 for a year
Some of the children who havent been able to go to university have chosen to train as seamstresses, electricians and motorbike mechanics.
University costs $900 per year and courses are typically 4 years long.

$100 Medical care
This goes towards our medical fund for the children in our educational sponsorship programs. Medical care and medicine is not free in Vietnam. Being poor they often are unwell and many have poor eyesight. It goes towards urgent or essential medical help needed by the children: appointments and treatment from doctors, thyroid, heart or asthma medication, eye examinations and eye glasses.
