Over the past ten years DOVE Fund has partnered with Hearts for Hue to support disadvantaged people in Huong xuan, located about 15 from Hue. It is home to about 12,600 people and is one of the poorest wards of Huong Tra town of Thua Thien Hue Province. In 2011 DOVE Fund, supported the construction of the Tay xuan daycare centre. Two classrooms, a kitchen and school toilets were built for 80 children aged from 3-5 years old in Huong Xuan.
From 2012 to 2018 the school continued to grow to meet the demands of population growth. Funding from DOVE enabled the building of four more classrooms to accomodate over 180 children. This daycare centre has been recognised as reaching a national standard by the Local Government of Thua Thien Hue province.
In 2020 DOVE Fund supported the construction of an expanded kitchen to meet the needs of a growing school population and designed for safe food preparation. The design of the new kitchen system has streamlined food preparation, separating raw and cooked foods and cooking, washing and composting areas to ensure safe and high-quality food.
The commitment by DOVE to ongoing support has made a positive difference to the lives of families in Hong xuan. Hearts For Hue and the children and teachers of Tay xuan daycare centre would like to express our deep gratitude to the DOVE Fund for lighting up the future for disadvantaged children in Vietnam.
