The most impoverished part of the Vietnamese population works in agriculture or the fishing industry. The population faces many hardships, such as cyclones and typhoons. During drought periods, the people aren’t able to grow any crops. During the monsoon period (June to December), harvest is highly dependent on the weather.
People who make a living by fishing own small boats used only close to the shore where fewer fish live.
The rate of literacy is low. People lack money for covering basic necessities and, without financial help, can’t provide education for their children to help them escape poverty. Thanks to your support, these people have a chance at education and a better life.

So that through the education path, they will be increasingly promoted.
Children participating in the project come from these dioceses:
