Mission

The purpose of the Vietnam Children's Fund (VCF) is to remember the families and children lost in Vietnam's many long wars. The goal of the fund is to close the past and look to the future by building schools. In cooperation with Vietnamese officials and with the support of corporations and individuals around the world, the Vietnam Children's Fund has been building schools for fifteen years. Working closely with each community, calling upon local artisans and using readily available materials, VCF constructs schools that are sturdy, safe, and clean. Because a school may be the only well-built structure in a community, it serves as not only a gathering place for the community but often the only safe haven from the elements during a natural disaster.
