Project managed by: Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation
Country: Vietnam
Project Description
The global pandemic has had a tremendous impact on Vietnamese children and families. Many children left and continue to leave their hometowns with the hope that they will be able to make a living in big cities. Instead, they face even greater challenges and dangers. Spending their nights sleeping rough on the streets exposes children to grave threats, such as the abuse of paedophiles and other criminal gangs. Your support will give the children somewhere safe to spend the night, which is not only their right, but also an essential first step on the road to rebuilding their lives.
More About This Project
Every night, a group of Blue Dragon social workers go out to the streets of Hanoi to find homeless children. The children hide in parks, beside lakes or under bridges, where they are at risk of abuse from paedophiles and criminal gangs and exposed to other dangers. When they find a child, the social workers offer them to come to Blue Dragon for warm meals in the day time and to our safe accommodation to sleep at night. These safe places keep the children away from all the dangers that hover over them on the streets. There, they not only get a place where they are secure, but also the support and care they need to build up their lost confidence and create a brighter future for themselves.
In 2020, Blue Dragon has assisted 153 homeless children, and provided acoomudation support for 341 children and families while in 2019, Blue Dragon met 85 and asisted street children.
