CHILDCARE WITH US

Where every child feels seen and safe

03 SITES

Care today, brighter tomorrow

Outreach Vietnam’s childcare runs at three sites, where orphaned children receive daily care filled with love, patience, and hope.

Thien Than Shelter: Children are able-bodied, curious, and energetic; volunteers play, teach basic skills, and create joyful, simple moments.
Disable Children Center – Ky Quang Pagoda: Many children live with disabilities; they need gentle encouragement and personalized support in feeding, mobility, and communication.
Thien Phuoc Shelter: Most children have severe disabilities; care focuses on safety, tenderness, and emotional connection through small gestures like holding hands and storytelling.

“Give each day an opportunity to become the best day of your life.”🌟

There are so many holidays and celebrations in HCMC, Vietnam. It was so nice to experience them at school and really get a sense how the local people live. You get to share the happiness of the locals.

This experience has had a big impact on how I look at life. I used to be stressful, nervous and worry a lot. Now I know I have nothing to worry about, or to be stressful or nervous about. I have everything I need at home and I appreciate it much more. So because of this, I’m a more happy person, so staffs so was nice and supportive.
