I Work for Optimism and Hope
The Hua Foundation, a non-profit organization, was created in 2010 with the sole mission to help orphans and disadvantaged elderly in Vietnam realize their personal potential as valued citizens in our world. Since my journey into the world of nonprofit work 14 years ago, my dream to provide hope and optimism to children, and forgotten elderly women, has grown beyond all I could have imagined. In 2011, I shared my personal childhood experiences and circumstances of growing up in Vietnam to reveal a way of life we don't often see or understand completely. To this day, I continue to believe I was fortunate to have experienced the uncertainties of war, hunger, and homelessness. These early experiences shaped and informed my unwavering belief in the fundamental right every child has to love, shelter, food, and education. Today, I am very fortunate to be entrusted to provide this unique service to coordinate our ever-expanding efforts to help children in need. Our collective efforts now extend beyond the original orphaned children of My Lam, Dieu Phap Affection House, and the forgotten elderly women of Cay Gao. Your generosity has helped increase our efforts in Vietnam to provide for a children's community hospital, the ethnic minority children of central highlands, and marginalized youth of the far south. All these children find themselves in circumstances beyond their control. My dream to lighten their path by showing how people half way around the world care about their well-being and desire to change their childhood companions of loneliness and hunger to optimism and hope, has come true. Thank you for joining The Hua Foundation and me in making a brighter childhood for children in need. More importantly, thank you for helping The Hua Foundation act locally to make a difference for children globally. Your spirit of generosity is uplifting and inspiring.
On Going Projects:
Bring Clean Drinking Water To Ethnic Minority Children Of Central Highland
2024 Projects
It’s proven successful with the last 4 projects in Bon Bu Pah, Bon Ta Mung, Thon10 of Dak Nong and Plei Teng of Gia Lai, our plan is to expand this model for clean drinking water to other similar villages in Dak Nong, including Gia Lai and Kon Tum so we can continue to provide this region with unlimited access to clean running water.
The GoFundMe fundraising is created to fund of at least 20 sites project wish list for the entire 2022 year.
Started with the 2024 year, we completed the first one in Làng JUT, xã IA Phí, huyện Chư PẢH, Gia Lai. Catholic Nun Ry "Cả làng có 245 hộ gia đình, 657 nhân khẩu, con nít chiếm hơn một nửa số nhân khẩu. Việc đi hứng nước giọt sâu trong vách núi rất khó khăn".
Dak Nong, Gia Lai, Kontum are provinces of Vietnam, located in the country’s Central Highlands. Located there, in the villages of minority, are elementary school serving children who do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. Currently, contaminated rain water is collected at the school in buckets, or each morning, the children will carry their buckets ½ mile to the nearest stream and collect water for their daily use. A water well located and managed locally at the elementary school, would provide access to cleaner and safer drinking water for these children, for this generation and future generations. Potentially, this well could also serve the families in the surrounding village.

Ap Phung Ngoai, Xa Muong Phu Tinh Ben Tre
Ben Tre Province is located 85 km South of Ho Chi Minh City in the Mekong River Delta. It lies below Tien Giang Province to the north, Vinh Long to the west, and Tra Vinh to the south. Ben Tre is nestled between two main branches of the Mekong’s largest tributary, which diverges to create a fertile agricultural region. This topography create a difficulty for children walking from one place to another, especially for them to go to school. These unsafe manner of monkey bridge is a challenge for all ages not only for children alone. The Hua Foundation is working with the local government to replace these monkey bridges with the concrete slab, stable, and safer.
