WELCOME TO HEARTS FOR HUE’S MAY 2021 NEWSLETTER
Dear Donors, Colleagues, and Friends,
First of all, Hearts For Hue would like to send our warmest greetings and best wishes to all of you and express our sincere thanks for your support of disadvantaged people in Vietnam. We would like to share with you an overview of what our organization was doing from April to May 2021. Please take a look at our project highlights below:
Handwashing station for needy children
Recent studies have found that frequent hand washing with clean water and soap will help to reduce the risk of diarrhea by about 47% and by 30% for acute respiratory infections. However, the handwashing system in many schools in Thua Thien Hue province still below the standard and it does not meet the needs of all students and teachers. Understanding the difficulties that many schools have been facing, VESAF, NFP and the DOVE Fund have funded the construction of an appropriate handwashing station to meet the needs of over 5000 students in Thua Thien Hue Province.
Hearts For Hue has been implementing the project with the aim of
- Increase awareness of personal hygiene and Covid19 respond and prevention for pupils and teachers in the schooling environment
- Improve the hygiene facilities for primary schools through handwashing station construction
Currently, there are many schools that have completed their construction and put it into operation. See the DOVE Fund’s Project and the VESAF,NFP’s Project
Ensure environmental sanitation for ethnic minority community in Hong Ha Commune
Located about 50 km away from the center of Hue city, Hong Ha is a mountainous commune of A Luoi district, with a population of 1,800 people in 450 households. The main ethnicities are TaOi, KaTu and Paco, make up 85% of the population.
The sanitation is one of the challenges for local people and local authorities, as nearly 60% of households do not have hygienic latrines. Most of them use homemade latrines which made from temporary materials or go directly to rivers or streams. This has exerted negative affected on the environment and the health of local people. Through a recent survey, we found that most of local people are very eager to have a hygienic latrine with bathrooms, but they do not have enough money to build. See more
