A visit trip to Phu Gia Chicken Program funded by The Rotary Foundation
On 6th May 2020, Hearts For Hue staff took a visit trip to several participants under the project “Improving economic condition for the poor/disabled people near Hue, Vietnam” which is sponsored by The Rotary Foundation.
Most of the beneficiaries of the group 2 reported that the survival rate has reached more than 95%. Hard work pays off! To gain this achievement, they have put their great efforts on taking care of a flock of chicken. For each chicken sold, they were paid in the range of 90,000 to 130,000 VND, and most members had sold 95 chickens. The recipients expressed their overwhelmed with happiness with this positive results. See more

A tablet for each family
Disadvantaged families cannot afford PCs or Tablets and their children cannot access e-learning. Understanding the problem that disadvantaged families and their children are facing nowadays we have decided to make a financial effort so each family may have its own Tablet.
We strongly believe that Tablets are suitable for children and that the use of Tablets or other devices is a part of their schoolwork as well as a new world for children beyond school, full of opportunities, potential and technology. See more
Once again, Hearts For Hue would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the donors for their great concern for the less fortunate people of our community. We hope that the cooperation between the donors and Hearts for Hue will grow even closer and more sustainable in the future. We wish you and your family good health, happiness, and prosperity.
Hearts For Hue
