Care The People - ONLUS

The House of Smiles is not just a building but a project of assistance to ensure children and poor children in special conditions of hardship or difficulty of their rights to health, nutrition and education.

It is a form of solidarity that offers a simple better future in their country.

For the "House of Smiles", was built a residential building with a total size of 650 square meters (840 with porches) that is designed to accommodate 40 children in rooms of 4 beds

In the first phase will be made operational the daily center, where we will offer children and young hot meals, new clothes and clean; they are able to use showers and wash their clothes, medical care, remedial courses and we offer a school safe and secure place in which shelter or spend leisure time.

Our initial goal is to help at least 50 children, gradually increasing the number in the future.

In the second phase, to some children based on their situation and condition of risk, we will give the opportunity to stay in common rooms.
We will attempt, where the conditions are met, their reintegration into the family of origin or foster care with their Vietnamese family.

The "House of Smile" wants to offer them an experience of safety of life and cultural growth and has been included in the support operations at a distance.

During the period of joining the project will follow the local team that will use the contribution of volunteers and experts.

This project is also a development program that provides initial vocational as well as employment opportunities for age-related activities in small courses (internet cafes, restaurants, tailoring, photocopying etc).
