Australian-funded project benefits orphans in Hanoi
Orphan and HIV/AIDS children under care at Hanoi’s Bo De pagoda now have clean water for daily use, as well as accessing a modern library, thanks to an Australian-funded project.
With a total capital of VND389 million (US$18,200) funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and donations from Hanoi-based organizations, the project equips the pagoda with a well-water filter system, furniture, computers and learning tools for its library.
The project will help the children have good health and the best learning conditions, facilitating their integration into the community.
Bo De pagoda is taking care of 260 orphans, including more than 10 HIV-infected children.
