Childrens Hope in Action

The Programs

Medical Services - assistance for severe / chronic illness and surgery, nutrition education and support, as well as Home Hospice support for terminally ill children
Disability Services - Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy
Education Services - sponsorship for poor students, Special Education for disabled children, Community Health Education
Poverty Alleviation - a package to help the family to achieve self-sufficiency
Implementation Plan - CHIA aims to identify children who are at-risk due to chronic/critical ill-health, disability, lack of access to education or otherwise likely to be institutionalised. Based on the perceived urgency of that risk, CHIA develops a tailored Care Plan for the family, usually including some or all of the following :

  • physiotherapy and other allied health services
  • assistance towards surgery
  • educational sponsorship for the at-risk child and siblings
  • other poverty alleviation initiatives and extensive follow-up of all services provided

CHIA is currently aware if over 700 such at-risk children in the Hoi An area alone and has yet to begin a Needs Analysis of neighbouring district Duy Xuyen, where the needs are expected to be much higher.
