In 2007, we began working with communities in the Mai Chau district of northern Vietnam to improve infrastructure, education, water supply for agriculture, and build up community-based tourism in the area. Fast forward to 2022, and four kilometres of road have been built, five dams reinforced or constructed, a Happy Library opened where students can borrow and read books in comfort, and a cattle bank created for local farmers. But that’s not the exhaustive list.
Thanks to the financial support of many of our commercial partners, and the hands-on project work and donations made by visiting educational groups, all of this and more was made possible.
