Mobile
Library
ProjectThe concept of the Mobile Library Project and Reading Animation Workshops is simple: to bring books and much needed educational supplies to areas in Vietnam where children have no access to learning tools. It is a gold mine for these children in the rural provinces of Vietnam who yearn to learn to read, write and become storytellers. For teachers and parents, it is a pathway to knowledge for their children that ultimately can be passed on to future generations. Learn more... |
 Rural
Infrastructure
Development ProjectDespite Vietnam's shift towards a market-oriented economy after the Doi Moi economic reforms initiated in 1986, development has not yet been dispersed to all regions of the country equitably. Located on the south central coast of Vietnam, Quang Nam Province is home to roughly 1.4 million inhabitants living within an area of 10,408 square km with a per capita income of 270 USD (2005)--significantly lower than the national average of 636 USD. In this province frequently susceptible to seasonal flooding, and plagued by a lack of funding for education, Global Village Foundation is stepping in with the support of our local and international donors and volunteers to address these pressing housing and education development needs through rural infrastructure projects.

 Dental Health & Education
ProjectInspired by the vision of Dr. Ralph Duffin of Oregon, who traveled to Vietnam with a team of dentists and other para-professionals in 2006 to provide emergency dental care to the children of Ky La village, the Dental Health and Education Project (DHEP) works with dentists, doctors, nurses, and medical corporations to provide professional dental and medical services, preventative health education, and equipment to the rural communities of Quang Nam Province. More recently in 2007 through 2009, we have worked with our partners at The Rotary Club of Osaka, The Rotary Club of Taipei, Dr. Hiramoto and The Rotary Club of Hiroshima, and Mr. Masashi Hiraishi and his Rotary Club members. As Dr. Duffin once said, "If the boat is sinking, it does no good to try to bail the water. One must fix the boat." Learn more... |
 Blind Massage Center ProjectDanang City is a metropolitan area under the direct administration of the central government. It consists of 6 districts and 1 island district with a population of nearly 750,000 living in an area of 1,256.2 square km. The average annual growth of the economy is 9%. The per capita income is 443 USD. per year. More than 80% of the population is under 40 years of age. In recent years, the city has steadily developed through the efforts of the local people and the authorities. Despite the progress, the city continues to face many difficulties, including hunger elimination, poverty alleviation, and jobs for the disabled and the blind. Global Village Foundation and its partners has helped integrate the blind community of Danang City with society through sustainable means since 2004. Learn more... |
